Great video! It was a choice of $1000 for a new engine, up to $3000 for a new tractor. I replaced the gasket, changed the oil and new spark plug/filter for under $60.

THANK YOU so much for making this video! My local 🚜 dealer wanted almost $500 to do this exact same job. Thanks to your video I ordered the things I needed and had your video for guidance every step of the way. And I really appreciated your providing all the torque specs for all the bolts. A couple of other DIY videos indicated they liked to add Permatex copper Spray-A-Gasket to the new head gasket, so I added that to all 3 gaskets (head, rocker arm cover, & exhaust) and I'm glad I did (I put one small scratch in the head scraping off the old gasket material and the copper spray gave that gasket just a little extra for that imperfection in the surface of the head). Another user showed a great way to gently but effectively remove all the material the razor blade can't get off: spraying the surfaces with WD-40 (or an engine cleaner) and using 400 grit sand paper to wet sand the remaining material off. That really helped get what scraping alone couldn't. Can't thank you enough for making this video! As Red Green says, "If the women don't find you handsome, at least they should find you handy!".
I sanded with 400 grit and WD too. Worked perfectly. No smoke and only spent $50 for gaskets (head and valve cover), oil, and new air filter. Runs perfectly.
I'm back here after doing this in July 2018 to refresh my memory on the torque specs. Can't complain the job lasted 6 years (did not use an OEM gasket-Ebay). This time around I am tossing out that heat shield on the principal it will allow more airflow around the engine. Good luck to y'all out there doing this, very simple if you follow these instructions and it works.
Thank you. I watched portions over and over as I progressed through the rebuild. When I had it all back together, it started smooth as silk. Again thank you!
Thanks for the great video! It helped me replace the head gasket in my 21hp Intek Craftsman lawn mower. It provided all the needed info to do the job. My mower had been burning oil for a few years so it was nowhere as clean as your demo rig . Keep up the great job.
This was a great video. I was able to completely disassemble and reassemble in one afternoon. I would only recommend converting inch-pounds to foot-pounds because most torque wrenches come in foot-pounds. Thank you for a clear and easy to follow video!
Most 3/8 drive torque wrenches are set in In-lbs. The problem with Ft-lbs is the numbers are way too low. Most 1/2" wrenches won't go below 30-40 ft-lbs, and even the ones that do are likely not accurate that low. 150 in-lbs is only 12.5 ft-lbs. For torquing wheels, suspension parts, etc you want the bigger wrench, but you need a smaller one for a lot of things, too. Worst case, the conversion isn't exactly hard, either. Just divide by 12.
That is the cleanest mower engine I have ever seen. If my head gasket had gone before I have mowed the lawn at all I’d be taking it back. Clinical repair? Oh Yeah 🤠

It is very easy to remove head without undoing the valve rockers! Just unbolt the head and pull the stem and head as one piece. Make sure you note that the stems are not identical! The steel one is the exhaust and the aluminum being intake. Be sure to always install the stem the same way it came out do not flip it end for end. It would still function but if there were any wear that was matched it is always better to install as it came out. Still check valve clearance. Gor those without inch pound torque wrench it equal 14-18 ft lbs of torque
Having no prior experience, I was able to replace the head gasket on my 2000 Toro Wheel Horse 16 HP OHV Briggs and Stratton engine thanks to this RepairClinic.com video! And it worked perfectly on the first try after reassembly. Had to use carb cleaner and wire brush drill bit to get all the carbon desposit from inside the combustion chamber, but total success! Thank you for creating and posting this crystal-clear how-to video!!!!
Just did this job. One question, does the head bolts require a retorque after a heat cycle? I can't find any information on wether it does or not. Thanks
hello, I am putting together a briggs&stratton 21B807 engine and I have a problem because there is an arrow on the piston. How to point it up towards the magnet wheel??
repair clinic can i use the same clearance gauge on the valve adjustment on this video for a craftsman 19 HP ,the model number 33R877 type 0002G1 ... i need to know the feeler gauge numbers to adjust the rocker arm and valve before ordering the gasket . thank you
You forgot to mention to resurface the cylinder head on a wide, flat belt sander or large diameter sanding disc to remove warpage and restore flatness, and to prevent another blown or leaking head gasket.
I do have a machine shop. It's a professional machine shop, too. And lots of professional machine shops use a flat belt or disc sander to resurface all kinds of metal parts. Besides, what other machinery could be used to resurface metal parts with??? Also, I don't live in a ghetto. I live in the suburbs of a large city, very far away from any ghettos. I think your "ghetto" response is discriminatory and racist, too!

I replaced the head gasket. Still has a ton of blow by going on from the dipstick tube. I’m kinda done with it. I’ve run out of ideas of what the problem is.
Unscrewing the head bolts in this video is wrong. You are supposed to break the bolts on the head about a 1/4 of a turn for each bolt then go back then unscrew the bolts all the way. Doing this keeps the head from warping.
I torqued my head-bolts to about 18-20 ft./lbs. (max. at 3rd interval). Am i good to go for My B&S Model 31H777, TYPE 0297E1 , CODE 040126ZD ? These are known to blow head-gaskets based on how they are designed with bolts being so far apart at the exhaust stroke part of the piston/head. So I want to make sure it's tight enough. First time around one of the bolts broke so i bought brand new ones (8) and they were a bit different ... tad bit longer, larger flange on bolt-top and they had 5 tick marks on the head bolt instead of 3. So was that a 5 grade-bolt upgraded to a 7? thanks a ton in advance!!!!!!!!

You forgot the spill icon when moving the carb around. Unless newer carbs have a way of not dumping gas into the throttle body when moving them around, or sending it through the overflow tube. It would be a good idea to also remove the carbon from the top of the piston and valves. Also check the valves for spin while you're at it.

I'm using a Nm torque wrench. 150 inch pounds = 17 Nm. I've got my torque wrench set on 17 and it feels like I'm going to snap the heads off the head bolts. And the wrench still hasn't clicked. Yours appears to click a lot sooner than mine. Should I keep cranking on it?
They did it here to remove the pushrod. You don't necessarily have to remove the valve cover to remove the head, but you will still need to reinstall the pushrod so either way you have to open the valve cover.
i don't have a feeler gauge, nor the money to buy one, I barely have the money for the gasket, is there a way I can do this without messing around with the valves
Repair Clinic, My engine has no power and it's a 15HP B/S OHV engine and it don't show smoke coming out of the oil filler. but I do have lots of oil under the cylinder, Would this indicate that I may have a blown head gasket? I have changed the plug, carburetor, fuel line, fuel filter and air filter and still have NO power, engine start good and runs well until you try to cut grass, 9/24/2016. Thanks Stan
Well I bought a new click torque wrench, I wasn't aware of ft inch so I set it 150 ft lbs (scale I use for torquing my tire etc) and broke all eight studs, as they snapped I thought that was wrench releasing at 150 ft lbs.
man...... thats a tough hit. just know it was not for nothing. I am about to embark on this and you possibly saved me for most likely doing the same. Thanks for sharing the painful cautionary tale.
the new one makes it look so easy... well it's not easy working with an older lawnmower that hasn't ran for 3 years now with an exploded part inside the head
RepairClinic.com Well, I understand the GOAL but do not understand what you are feeling for, pushing on, etc. This was a great video overall. This just seems like an important step and there is not a lot of detail at this moment IMO.
@@evilenergy7121 yeah. I've used several these motors over the yrs and head gaskets always failed and the governor flies apart . There's a spring on the compression release valve and it'll fly apart often and sometimes gets chewed up in your gears on the cam shaft and sometimes break a gear tooth or two . Very bad design in those intek engines.

I replaced the head gasket. Still has a ton of blow by going on from the dipstick tube. I’m kinda done with it. I’ve run out of ideas of what the problem is.
Do you need to drain the oil from the mower prior to removing the cylinder head ?
No tilt the front up a little and make sure the mower is in gear. Also block the back wheels. Some oil will still dribble out though.
Do you actually have to remove the valve cover?
Unscrewing the head bolts in this video is wrong. You are supposed to break the bolts on the head about a 1/4 of a turn for each bolt then go back then unscrew the bolts all the way. Doing this keeps the head from warping.
Kenneth Nicely This is true and very important...
it wont warp if it is cold
I saw one unscrew with an impact
Kenneth, If you blew a head gasket you would have the head milled flat any how.
I've see videos that advise loosening and removing in the reverse order you tighten them.
I torqued my head-bolts to about 18-20 ft./lbs. (max. at 3rd interval). Am i good to go for My B&S Model 31H777, TYPE 0297E1 , CODE 040126ZD ?

does this work the same if you have a 16.6 horse motor
You forgot the spill icon when moving the carb around. Unless newer carbs have a way of not dumping gas into the throttle body when moving them around, or sending it through the overflow tube. It would be a good idea to also remove the carbon from the top of the piston and valves. Also check the valves for spin while you're at it.

billwill.julz he cant see the piston position so he used a screwdriver see where top dead center was
4:24 _Remove the New gasket_ . . . 4:47 _Install the New gasket_
What sealing cover cap
These motors if you mow a lot will need head gasket replaced once a year.
Alot like as in my mowing lawns everyday as a business?
@@evilenergy7121 yeah. I've used several these motors over the yrs and head gaskets always failed and the governor flies apart . There's a spring on the compression release valve and it'll fly apart often and sometimes gets chewed up in your gears on the cam shaft and sometimes break a gear tooth or two . Very bad design in those intek engines.
For sure, it’s a winter job on all of them and it will save you money and down time plus losing a good customer 😮😮😮
WARNING ⚠️ (18 FT/LBS MAX)
Hey. 250 inch pounds WILL stretch or breaking head bolts!!!!
No more than 220 or 18 ft/lbs per bolt
WARNING ⚠️
250 foot lbs will, 250 inch pounds/21 ft lbs wont stretch or break pretty much anything
07:30 what sealant do you use? i thought there was just another gasket for that part
The right stuff
You forgot to say polish any finger prints off the hood cover. Oh, and also you didn't say go pee if you have to.

Yes, and one night I was lighting a cigarette and i noticed that my lighter was brighter then my headlights!?!
Always figured it was more for snow removal since it gets dark at 5
Most time the videos are of Craftsman's alot
Yes my craftsman 21 horsepower is well known for blowing head gasket. Wish i known that before i i bought it used.
