Kohler 7000 Series Head Gasket Replacement
มุมมอง 45K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Today we had to replace a head gasket on a Kohler 7000 series engine. The head gasket went bad because of poor maintenance. This is an example of small problems becoming big problems if left undelt with. Thanks for watching and if you found this interesting, please like, share, and subscribe.

what is the part number of the new improved head gasket shown in the video? Thank you.
Why would you even begin to take that apart with all that dirt still on it????????????
I'm doing a sv830 mine was clean and blew number 2 it's only got 1800 hours lol so it was time
So 5 on the intake and 5 on the bottom to are is it a different number
How much should something like this cost to repair at a shop?
It really depends on the shop labor rate. Our shop charges $90/hour and I'm told that's cheap. You can bet on a solid 2 hours on this if you do both sides and don't run into any issues.
Thank you for this, very helpful. I think I have the same issue on the same cylinder. Should I do both gaskets at once, or just save the other for another day?
You have to pull the shroud off and remove the intake to get to one, you may as well do both at the same time so you don't have to tear into again down the road. It's personal preference really, but if it were my machine, I would go ahead and do both.
@MustangMowers I pulled off both, they were just on there with rtv. I ordered some aluminum covers as they were same price as composite covers. I heard they are a bit more reliable
I don’t have a torque wrench that measure in. lbs. only in ft lbs. my question is, first torque would be about 16ft lbs and next tighten down would be around 30 ft lbs. should I just get close to that?
How much do we tighten the rocker arms?
At the end of the day, as long as you're close I think it will be fine. To quote Taryl "it's not a spaceship, it's a lawn mower." Nothing has to be exact. When you get the valve lashing set right, tighten the retainers down enough they don't come loose. But, if you do the way I showed in the video, the lashing doesn't change so you don't have to reset them.
That new gasket looks like it was designed to act as another cooling fin. It looks like it hangs outside the mating surfaces.
That was my thought as well. It's a much better design.
This is a good reason to power wash a few times a season. Sometimes even with cleaning you still have problems.
Mine blew out at the same spot.
I have one just like yours. The engine is still in working good order. The only problem is that I need to replace the seals where the tines rotate. Do you know where I can get news seals? Do you have a repair manual with part break down to show part numbers? Please let me know. Thanks
I'm sorry it has taken so long, but no, I do not have any of that. I've tried to find info on it and can not find anything.
What size torx wrench?
This looks like a quick fix. If I’m doing this repair, I would have went ahead and replaced the valve stem seals and resurfaced the cylinder heads.
I don't disagree, but it's all about what the customer wants to pay for.
Somebody worried about oil all they do put gas in ride it till it blows.every mower I seem to get take a hour or so just cleaning the engine always covered in oil.
The struggle is real.
Glad to find this video. I have this same tiller. I got mine from a family estate sale. It still runs great. How do replace the cable going from the handle running the tines?
You may just have to have one made. I haven't been able to find a replacement.
@MustangMowers Thank you for the response. I ended up making a cable. Needs adjustment, but otherwise does the job.
Maruyama have the best throttles and grips in the industry. This crap you put on there is just a solution looking for a non-existent problem.
I’m finding oil on top of my intake manifold. Specifically between the two high points. Could that be a gasket as well or does the intake manifold need to be replaced?
Shoot some pictures of what you're talking about and email them to mustangmowers41@gmail.com so I can see what you're talking about. I should be able to tell.
I have a similar montgomery ward edger with a slightly different engine. But I've been looking for the throttle control part. Would you happen to know your model number for the edger? My stickers/labels are all gone or worn out on mine. Thanks!!
Let me check in the morning and I'll get it for you.
I just bought a used zero turn mower for $500. I found an engine maintenance kit at Atwoods for $60. It comes with oil, spark plugs, fuel filter, oil filter, and air filter. I'll also get some Simple Green and a brush to clean it after seeing this.
you need to upgrade your 2 Ignition coil ! There was a Factory update to replace those ignition coil!
coil air gap clearance 0.010 “
Extend the oil drain by adding a 1/4”x 6” pipe nipple and pipe cap , Works great !
Don’t understand why people don’t clean engine before tear down. All that junk getting in engine.
These motors ( V Twin ) calls for torque on valve cover bolts at 80 inch pounds or 6.5 foot pounds. This is important. Make sure you're at top dead center before adjusting valves. I do mine at 4 thousands. I have the exact some motor. Great video by the way, very educational.
So it's 4 and not 5 on the intake what is it on the bottom one
Im about to swap my head gaskets out and i noticed the new gaskets have 2 rubber rings in each package. Anyone know what those are for cause the heat would melt them quickly so im at a loss here
They are your intake gaskets. I’m sure you’ve figured this out by now
PREVENTIVE maintenance. The non word preventative is redundadant and makes those who use it sound uneducated.
5-stars...Excellent video! I recently replaced both head gaskets that were failing on Kohler's V-twin SV725 (24hp) Courage engine powering my Husqvarna riding mower. 9-year-old mower (looks like new) only 210 hours, but recently noticed hiss sound @ shut-down (tell-tale sign of failing head gaskets). Before I attempted repair myself, I watched a couple TH-cam videos on this...but Mustang Mowers video on this repair is the only one you need to watch and it's the BEST! Clear, on-point, concise and super-informative. Great job and thanks for all the intel.
Two days ago I pulled out my Wards edger. It has been sitting for about 20 years. Thanx for a tutorial on how to safely try out the engine without ruining it. I bought this edger new about 49 years ago.
You are very welcome. That's what this is all about.
Mine blew out at 130 hours. Replaced with OEM gaskets , same as I took off. lasted until 332 hours. Emailed Kohler and asked them if they had an improved gaskets yet. Said I didn’t feel I should have to buy parts again for such crappy gaskets. They sent me a set of the new style gaskets , no charge. These gaskets with a flame ring around the cylinder hole should last the life of the engine.
The new style are definitely head and shoulders above the old. It's been our experience that Kohler has done very well standing behind their product.
You never explained how to get in neutral valve position
Well, there are a couple of different ways you can do it. You can take the time to get the cylinder on TDC on the compression stroke and set both valves. Or you can do what it do and slond the engine by hand and watch for one of the two valves to open all the way. With it all the way open, you can set the one that is still closed. Then spin the engine until the one you just set opens all the way up and then set the other one.
Plus gas leaking on mufflers causing a fire and oil just helps it burn better
The oil sump cover leaks onto the cylinder and attracts dirt
Very good PM'S, THANK YOU! VERY INFORMATIVE INFORMATION,NOW ILL PAY MORE attention TO DETAIL ON MY MOWER
With a little research like I did you'll find out the Kohler 7000 series engines visit a repair shop a lot less than any other brand..
I just did a cv20s that had ingested a screw and bent the intake valve. New valves, valve train and gaskets. Bled the lifters, Cleaned carb and reassembled. Runs like a champ. Now theres your dinner. Taryl And you didnt set the valve lash either. Yu suck
Any one knows how much a pair of this same kind of gaskets cost?
$20
Great video. Valve adjustment is something a lot of people ignore. I think it would have been helpful to explain to everyone the need to be at TDC of the compression stroke before adjusting. For me, understanding that and how to get there was the most confusing part. It’s probably second nature to you, but unless you’re a mechanic, it’s something most know nothing about.
Dirty engine = head gasket job
I am doing the same thing what do I clean the head with?
We use a gasket scraper to clean off all the mating surface. If you have any stubborn spots, you can use something a little more abrasive, but, be careful not to take off to much of the surface. Then right before I put RTV on, I use a rag and some solvent (carb cleaner, brake parts cleaner, etc) and make sure all the oils and stuff are removed from the gasket surface.
Nice video but you take the tourque stuff a little to serious lol, I'm a small engine mechanic at a shop and I change them all the time you don't need a tourque wrench just snug each bolt up nice and tight. Like even when your tool said you went to 390 there was zero point in loosening it and bringing it right to 370 if you had of left it alone it wouldn't of made any difference
Mustang mowers. Please can you tell me what kind speciation is ajustment the valves. Intek and exhaust on this engine please thanks!
Kohler says 0.005 in for both the intake and exhaust valves.
@@MustangMowers thanks!!! Great video and good Information!!!. Gracias!!
@@MustangMowers please do you think is possible can you share the item for gasket head by 24 hp Kohler engine series 7000 . please I will be grateful! Thanks
Looks like a piece of construction equipment, not a lawn mower. Fire the operator stat. Oil attracts dirt, dirt pulls oil, repeat.
I like the old flat head bs engine and enjoy rebuilding them
It was a much more simple time. These little things aren't over complicated with all the new gadgetry of today.
Great video. Informative and interesting. I have the same Kohler 7000 engine . There is oil leaking from the valve cover area. I wonder if the head gasket is blown?
Not necessarily. Valve covers have a tendency to leak on their own. Do you have a loss of power under a load?
@@MustangMowers Doesn't seem to loose power under load just oil leak. Mower once shutdown when pto was engaged.
@@edthompson1727 There are a lot of reasons for it to shut off when you kick the PTO on. It sounds like you just have a leaky valve cover. Just like in the video, if you leave small problems long enough, they will become big problems. Valve covers are easy to reseal. Just get some high temp RTV and pull the valve cover off (should be 4 bolts) clean the mating surface real good, apply the RTV, let it tack up (about 10 minutes) then put the valve cover back on.
Okay thanks for the insight.
That would stress me out if my mower looked like that. Lol.
It would alarm you to see what gets dropped off at the shop. Lol
this is a great video man and will help me a lot. I'm having an issue where when i try to turn it over, it sounds like its trying hard to do so then suddenly dies, and air of some sort escapes out the right side near the spark plug. its like a hissing decompression sound that lasts a second or so. i replaced the spark plugs that were very black. Air filter is clean. Gas was in there all winter, but i ran it for 5 minutes 2 weeks ago and it seemed fine. Oil needs to be replaced badly as thats something ive neglected. i fear its a head gasket. do you have any ideas?
If you can hear air hissing out by the spark plug, that's pretty tell tale that the head gasket is bad or something much more sinister has happened. I would check compression on both cylinders to confirm that. If the fuel that was in it all winter has any ethanol in it, that could be part of your problem as well. Ethanol is bad stuff and does not do well sitting for any length of time. Hope this helps.
@@MustangMowers Thank you so much for the reply man, i greatly appreciate it. I'll start with a compression test and work my way from there! And yes, im fairly certain my gas has ethanol in it. The engine sat for maybe 1 1/2 or 2 months without being ran i'd reckon. Never had a problem before like that but i usually put in some sea foam, and i think i neglected that this year.
Great video....like how you explain everything. Just subscribed to your channel.
Thank you very much. Stay tuned. There will be more.
My 23 hp kohler is clean regular maintenance & head gaskets still failed poor design from factory thanks for the video 😊
It really was a poor design. But, Kohler has done a good job, in my opinion, with the fix on replacement parts.
I found some no name gaskets that already had the improved gaskets. Not sure if the aftermarket came up with the fix first or not.
Good video!
what kind of torque wrench are you using.
