Your video was incredibly valuable to me - I had no chance of doing this myself without a step by step video like this one. The exhaust on my Craftsman LT2000 had a lot of smoke in it and I had to pour in more oil every mow, so I used your video to change the head gasket (and all other seals that had to be undone) and it's running well now with no smoke... Thank you!
Your welcome I'm happy the video helped
I believe I have a head gasket issue with my YS 4500. In preparing to change out the gasket I’ve watched a lot of videos. This is the most concise, well done videos I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you and good luck on your project
I got sold a lemon mower, this video saved me a lot of money to finally get it running! Thank you sir!!
I'm glad it help you out you are very welcome
How is it that this Vid doesn't have more views?! Well explained and easy to follow.
Thanks for the comment
Smoothe sailing the way, Captain. Great!

Thank you
What a great video!! The editing was just superb!! Thank you for taking the time to produce this very informative video.
Thank you 😊
This video is so well done, I now feel confident that is the issue with my mower. I will be replacing the head gasket in my mower soon. Thank you sir!
Hey your very welcome I'm glad I could help 😊 let me know how it goes
@@jlistdiy Ordered Head gasket set from Amazon. Took it apart gasket was blown just like yours. Cleaned all the parts seated the valves installed new valve seal on the intake side put it all back together with new spark plug NO more burning oil. Running great. Thanks again for the great video. 👍
@@hectormiranda3646 awsome I'm glad to hear that 😀
Thx u for the patience and detail video I enjoyed it and appreciate your video, I know have the confidence to service my 1st lawn mower thx u .. Jo NY.
Thank you and your welcome
Nicely done! This is a very informative video.
Thank you
Very good instructions and video. 👍
Thank you
Great content bud!
Thank you
Thanks for the help.... Doing this tonight......
Yeah no problem good luck with your project
Nice video. I'm just surprised you ever found the locator pins after that wire brush grabbed the green rag.
Oh I know that definitely made me jump lol
Great video
Thank you
Thank you. I think I will need to do this soon. I get a puff of smoke when it is loaded and I have an oil leak.
Your welcome and good luck 👍
Thanks for the video. I have a YT4000, 2 cylinder, I'm betting the procedure is the same for each head.
You make it look too easy.... I'm hoping it is as easy as you make it look.
Thanks for the comment and yes it is the same procedure for a v twin engine
Pretty interesting work, dude! 😊
Yeah, combustion motors need to be always maintained. That's why for rc airplanes I'd rather stay with the electric motors. 😬
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
They sure do, thanks
Awesome job man! I like the confidence of putting the cover on and everything before starting it. That takes cajones!
Just curious, does the valve cover labeled OHV need a gasket or RTV when reinstalling?
I would goes with a gasket it's cleaner and easy to remove when adjusting the valves in the future
Thank you
Your welcome
Hey, thanks for the great video ! One question, how do I set the pistons to top dead center ? Thanks !
Take the spark plug out and gently put a screwdriver into the hole and rotate the engine until you feel the piston at very top
@@jlistdiy thanks again !
@@Tech-Mark your welcome
Why are you running it at high throttle?.
How long does these new gaskets last?
It's been 10 years since I changed the one on my neighbors mower and he mows just a little over 3 acres so they hold up pretty well
How do you find out what casket is needed for repair?
By the number on the engine for example 280777 - E1
No rtv silicone on the valve cover gasket?
The paper gasket was good so I reused it
The tapet cover , when you reassemble does it have a gasket also ?
Yes you need a gasket or some people use the rtv gasket maker
@@jlistdiy thankyou. I was just asking. I have never done this before. I am going to. Thank you for sharing
@@joeolvera333 yeah no problem your welcome
At the 10-mnute mark in the video when you were installing the push rods, you were turning the flywheel, but you didn't explain what you were doing. Obviously, you were feeling for some kind of setting. I would like to know what it was you were feeling for and what the procedure you were doing is called. Thanks. - Rick
I was making sure the push rod was in the correct position so by turning the flywheel I was able to see if the push rod moved
Can some one explain the setting the valves part? I didn't quite understand what exactly was happening haha. I'm about to replace the head gasket for my t2200. wish me luck!
It's right at 11 minutes by the way
What do you do if you lose the valve spacers?
I would replace them but I have ran them without but can cause premature wear on the rockers
Does it hurt to spot glue the head gasket on so it does not slide all over the place and make it impossible to line up the screw holes. Or will the glue raise the gasket up a hair so that it is not perfectly flush an cause an oil leak.
The gasket should sit in place due to the 2 pins that help line up the head to the cylinder I wouldn't use any type of glue
@@jlistdiy Thanks for your reply. I have a 15.5 HP Tecumseh lawn tractor engine and it has no pins. I did not use glue after all and installed the gasket today. What I did was put a few screw into the cylinder head and then put the gasket on to the cylinder head through the screws and then mounted the cylinder head to the base as compared to mounting the gasket to the base first and then inserting the cylinder head.
sounds like you got it all worked out I'm glad to hear it
@@jlistdiy Yes I did and as they say, there is more than one way to skin a cat.
@@jlistdiy I just spent 6 hours today trying to adjust the rocker for the exhaust valve. Can not do it I was able to adjust the intake valve with no problem. When I have everything set up to be adjusted as the piston on TDC on the compression stroke, the exhaust valve rocker is tight as no slack at all.
When I turn back the screw just a hair say, to try to get some slack, it then becomes so lose that even the push rod will fall out. Either tight as no clearance or so lose that it falls apart. I tried everything as switching the parts from the intake to the exhaust and it makes no difference. The engine is a 15.5 HP Tecumseh on a 15 year old lawn tractor. Maybe it is designed that way?
you forgot the air filter....plus gasket sealer on the rocker cover....or did i miss these ?
Your right on the air filter I had to pick up a new one I didn't have one on hand and the rocker cover had a good reusable paper gasket on it im surprised I didnt mention that in the video thanks for pointing that out.
sorry i am a little panicky....doing a head gasket this week on my 21hp briggs...first timer.....watching a little to close i guess...thanks for the help.....tom
@@pedalsteel5 nothing wrong with that and good luck with your repair
@@jlistdiy i'll let you know...thanks
Jamie..everything went as to plan...except i over tightened one of the 8 head bolts and it broke....top center one.....left it alone...mowed my back yard this morning...no smoke...hope the one bolt will not matter....time will tell i guess...tom
I was worried bout the timing chain or valve getting messed up
No time chain inside these engines and the valve would be pretty hard to damage
I did everything you did but my mower will not start now. What would be wrong with it
Are your valves adjusted correctly
@@jlistdiy yes
@@RufusKJones are you getting spark check the wire that runs to the coil makes sure it didn't get pinched somewhere causing it to ground out
@@jlistdiy let me check that
It is wanting to start when I crack it but it will not
