My opinion is: it's not the gasket they use or the silicone gasket used, its the problem of the muffler mounted too close to the valve cover, and then the heat cooks that gasket.....,. You need to engineer a heat shield between that muffler/ engine. I know its not a lot of room between the two , but any shield would be better than no shield.
Yep, after the 3rd gasket started leaking that's how I fixed mine. Love your channel and how you cut through the BS! You have helped me more than a few times and I get to laugh too. Thank you Taryl
Ty Taryl , for yrs, I avoided watching any of your videos . I judged a book by it's cover. I accidentally caught the middle of one and realized you were for real a great small engine specialist and for the last two yrs. my go to guy for knowledge and humor .
It worked for me on the second attempt! I put a thin coat on the head as well as a heavy coat on the valve cover. Also, on the second attempt, I followed the directions on the package about waiting an hour before tightening the bolts. Thanks to all the helpful comments and of course to Taryl. I'm a happy boy!
How the heck did you get the thing back off to try it again. I did the fix but still had some leaking so I was gonna give it another shot but I can't get it apart! Any suggestions?
Joe Elliott I know what you mean. I thought the same thing, but once I got a small area free, it pulled right off. I was afraid to cause damage with tools, but no need. just try to get one small area maybe gently with a screwdriver and you'll be surprised when it starts to give up. the hard part was cleaning it all off. I used a wire brush in a drill for the cover and a 3m type sanding pad for the head.
Taryl - My LTX1045 had the leaky valve cover too. In fact, my mower caught fire with my kid riding it. Wife gave permission to go buy another $2,000 mower. I said heck no. Got on utube and found your video. Dude, you are awesome. Your vid was a little long getting to the point, but your fix was fantastic! I followed your instructions step by step, and fixed it. Today, ran the dog crap out of it and no more leaky leaky. I feel like I owe you bro. Thanks for posting this!
Just fixed both valve covers on my cub cadet 1042 (kohler 715 v-twin) which has leaked since new . No leaks or oily crap blocking the airflow over the cylinders now! Engine now looks better than new and runs sweet - thanks Taryl, great video! :)
Maybe yall already done this, but have you ever thought about doin' a show where you talk about what you feel are the best engines down to the worst includin' the different motors made by the same manufactures, like the different Krohler motors, and different brigs etc?
I knew if I hung around long enough you would get to my ongoing problem, Ive replaced around 3 gaskets on my Courage, and still get a minor leak on to the muffler, usually it would quit when the mower got up to operating temps, I normally use the permatex and a new gasket, so forget the gasket just use a real thick bead of permatex let it dry for a day or 2. Finally I could not believe I could not get it to stop dripping. I think that the valve cover was made with to thin of metal and warps no matter how tight you tighten the bolts. Ive got my mower set up with a Tach, a Temp Gauge, and a Voltage Gauge. Also thanks for showing us about the magnets coming loose inside the flywheel, now my mower when starts puts out 14.1 volts. and while mowing slowly backs down to around 12.4 or so. You have done so much to help keep this mower cutting grass, and you have never set eyes on it. But it knows who you are and hears your name all the time and it made it another year, 455 hours on it so far. Thanks Taryl, Jr, Slippers, and I guess Rat Tail. What happen to the Guy who lived in your upstairs parts room, who used to throw parts down to you......
Hi Tarryl, junior & Slippers. Mr. Bass-akwards here. I did this on a Capt. krapola courageous too. It worked great. Now i've gotta adjust the valves. The engine is a little knocky.
I had the same problem. Changed the valve cover gasket 6 times and it would still leak. Seen how you fixed it now i'm going to fix mine the same way next week after i get back from vacation
I started watching then thought eeehhh... gave it a shot and it was well done and quite informative. Looks like mine sprung a leak being stored all winter. Wasn't there last year 🤔
I used this same sealant but didn't let it dry over night like you did and its still leaking. Are there any other alternatives that will work no questions asked? I have a Troy Bilt Mustang XP Zero Turn
Hi Taryl, did yoy wait 1 hour after applying the silicone before bolting the cover back on or is it ok to apply silicone and bolt straight on? Also how tight should i do the bolts?
There is a 1 hr setup time before torquing the bolts. The torque specs vary by manufacturer and can be found for your specific model with some googling .
You should use one of those kneeling pads on the floor when you're settin there all night. I did the same thing like you and my knees hurt like hell the next day! I could hardly walk! You need to warn all of us stupid people out here about that! ;)
OK. So I used the gasket maker goop and it didn't leak a bit. CRAP! Looking forward to torching it. So now I cant buy a new one!! Taryl knew what the hell he was doing!! THANKS TARYL!!!!!!!
Thanks man. Got a few good laughs, along w some good instructions on repairing the Khroler Curge .You're a funny bastard. Been a while since I've seen a rat tail.. Think you should bring back the mullet. Thanks again.
I tried permatex alone and it leaked again. Then I ordered an OEM gasket and used Permatex on the motor and the valve cover to sandwich the gasket. No leaks.
I bought a Troy bilt horse xp blah blah used for a couple hundred bucks and it has this 22 courage motor. I pulled the dipstick while running and to my surprise it blew oil out in my face. Is this normal behavior for these? I know it would be a bad sign on most motors but the thing runs pretty good. Just wondering if it's worth messing with it. Looks about new but I'm only 200 bucks in it so far. Valve cover is leaking a little so I'll fix that. Thanks for the video!
Aaah...The Not so Courageous, Kohlen Courage Engine. This one gets the Super Crappy, Ultra Scrappy award! Thanks for the tip, I shoulda figured...been doing it to all the other consistent leakers.
another thing you can try is set a ball peen hammer on the inside of each hole ahd give it a little whack to pop the valve cover back to original position. because over time tightening it bends the hole towards the head and causes it to leak. it happens all the time on chevy engines
+Rob H 92 is good for storage has a longer shelf life. I was told at a service school that for every month gasoline sits it loses a Octane point. Plus ethanol in the fuel makes an engine run HOTTER. Higher octane fuels burn more efficiently thus reducing heat.
Wow, just wow. I felt like I was watching my dad showing me how to replace the valve gaskets on a '77 Ford Granada. Same exact thing, um, but different. He had a bridge that he used to pop out for some reason, but I digress. I just picked up a 19hp Cub Cadet with the Kohler Courage and it's doing the same thing. The guy that I got it from said that oil must have been from the guy that replaced the oil plug when they changed it. Go figure. Engine sounds good and I am going to get a can of oil as I don't want to ruin it. I am assuming that would be the same thing. But they have a saying about assuming. It's an LT1042 made in 2006, with a SV590. Just want to make sure before I go ripping stuff apart and mess it up. Any assistance or guidence would be great. GT
Yup same motor and a easy fix. This guy knows his shit and his videos are funny as hell to. I like Right Stuff gasket maker by Permatex though. I'm a shop operator and I have found Right Stuff to be far superior to any other silicone.....period.
I saw a video on how to fix this leak using the same gasket maker, but they said not to tighten it up until the gasket maker was fully set up. What’s your opinion?
“Fully set up” depends on how wicked thick (1-1/2”) you apply it, and if it’s 95•F or 27•F. Relative humidity, and direct sunlight are also inflammatory pFactors. Mr. Mullet Dactyl recommends letting it set up all night, while sleeping on his knees on hard cold concrete. There is no other way. No pain, no gain bruh!
Hey Taryl Good video and dinner, found my kroler v twin 22 hp right plug wire not firing, any suggestions for best replacement, innerweb spread from $39.99 up to nearly $200.00? any help much appreciated!. waiting on my dinner!
+David Moore You'll have ta get yur model & spec number & look up the new coil. Only way ta fix it is with a new coil if its not firin on that side. Theres yur dinner!
I have a cadet ltx 1050 and is leaking oil somewhere use the engine. I created this issue when I was chignon the drive belt. I thought it was a piece of the belt stuck in there
Hey taryl I want to change the trimmer head on my gt2100 echo. I bought a speed feed head that says it fits my model but when I go to place it on there it feels loose the plastic donut it comes with isn't big enough for it to tighten the head like I want it too. Any suggestions?
+Adr1an110 Oregon ,Stens & Rotary make a speed feed head that is Identical to Echo's . It comes with 2-additional adapters. Check out those heads. They have 2 -sizes also. A 3 3/4 diameter head Oregon # 55-294 & a 4-1/2 diameter #55-265
+Peter Froud Those are absorbent mats. Luckily I have a customer who works for a company that uses those so he gets them for me. They work great for oil on the floor they will absorb the oil out of the concrete if you let them sit long enough on the oil puddle. I'm sure you can inquire about them from your car repair shops.
+WeldstarCreations No , You need the gasket to set the engines end play on the crankcase. I use permatex High Tack sealant on those. It comes in a spray can like spray paint. Very sticky. Buy a can & check it out.
Also I am surprised you do not receive way more views than you do. I searched "lawn tractor repair" and "small engine repair" but your videos did not come up. Your videos are comprehensive AND easy to follow. Your skits are a hoot. With the proper exposure, I believe your viewing numbers will soar.
Let it fully cure for a coupla weeks, then tighten those bolts till about the aluminum strips it’s shit off. 4-500 ft-lbs should do it. If not, use a pipe extension on your breaker bar. Tighten the hella them... Never leak again, and when it does, shove fireworks in the gas tank and send it to hell.
Damn. I followed the directions, and even let it sit for a week before i fired it up. It's now smoking worse than before. Guess i will have to do it all over again.
Thank God for Taryl!! I'll pray God forgave you for attempted murder of rat tail in 2015. Especially when you launched him over the fence. Meanwhile, today I discovered my Kohler 22hp XT-1 riding mower has a valve cover leak. Will apply your technique in attempting repair! The area around the cover was all covered by an oily gooey mess. The mower is only 3 years old.
I had to do that with my dads Honda GSV190 engine on his HRU217D lawnmower after adjusting the valve tappets. Honda do fit a gasket on at the factory but they tell you to use high temperature silicone sealant on the valve cover in the service manual. That Kohler valve cover looks like it's a boomerang shape, I've been wondering if I've been a boomerang to this place :- www.tomago.com.au/ I paid them a visit to there in 1996 & I'm sure some of the Australian Aborigines think that I'm a returning boomerang who should work there, many of the non returning ones left.
Kholer became a disgrace when they screwed-up quality. The chicken will have teeth before I buy anything which bears the name Kohler, unless, its 30 or 40 years old.

It’s “*DACTYL*”, dumbass.
Like the pTerodactyl dam dinosaur!
I love these videos. This guy and his helpers are hilarious. He does do great informational videos.
Gonna give it a try the way Taryl said to do it. If this doesn't work I'm going back to the parts store and buy a lighter! Let ya know tomorrow.
Hi Tarryl, junior & Slippers. Mr. Bass-akwards here. I did this on a Capt. krapola courageous too. It worked great. Now i've gotta adjust the valves. The engine is a little knocky.
Yup, New gasket worked as good as the old one. Now will try your way. Thanks.
Thanks Taryl, I done goobered mine up good and my now my Krohler courage doesn't smoke like a 2-stroke. Gas Rats Merit badge for me!
I had the same problem. Changed the valve cover gasket 6 times and it would still leak. Seen how you fixed it now i'm going to fix mine the same way next week after i get back from vacation
Came looking for info on doing this to my tractor. Definitely an attention grabbing entrance.
I started watching then thought eeehhh... gave it a shot and it was well done and quite informative. Looks like mine sprung a leak being stored all winter. Wasn't there last year 🤔
I love the Kohler courage! They are so reliable and powerful!
"reliable" lmfao those engines are junk
Proud of ya taryl you had courage to take on the leaky kohlage
I used this same sealant but didn't let it dry over night like you did and its still leaking. Are there any other alternatives that will work no questions asked? I have a Troy Bilt Mustang XP Zero Turn
Enjoy all ya videos that ya make, and helpful beyond belief. Just wanted to say Thanks for the Laughs & the tips in ya videos.
Kohler command motors are a time process, to work on. Just got done working on a 18hp one for my neighbor. Alot was wrong. 90% was Operator Error.
What's the name of the tool you use on the tube of permatex I can't find it anywhere. Thanks
Nice video Taryl! - I've seen that stuff on Honda OHV covers - must be good for sealing all sorts of engines.
Kroller Courage? Chub Cadet has definitely gone even lower than anyone ever thought that they could.
Hi Taryl, did yoy wait 1 hour after applying the silicone before bolting the cover back on or is it ok to apply silicone and bolt straight on? Also how tight should i do the bolts?

What's the torque specs for the valve cover?
Thanks for the video works perfect with the gasket and gasket maker

Might I suggest Permatex Right Stuff for sealant? You could even stick Ricky's rat tail back on with that. . .Win win, there's your din!

Thanks Taryl...my kohler courage is doing the same thing...last time i buy a kohler..
New to channel, thanks you just saved me 45.00 on there bs fix kit,
You just earned a subscriber...
Do you have to drain the oil from the mower before doing this?
No this is the top end. There will be a small pool of oil and that's it. The oil sump or "oil pan" is what hols the bulk of the oil.
I have a Kholer 22hp twin that is sluggish. Any advice is appreciated.
Indian Head gasket sealer with the gasket. Don't have to leave it set overnight that way.
I guess people become limp with fear whenever Taryl gets his hands on them lol.

I did the same but when I accelerate it shakes. what will be the problem?
What are torque specs?
Permatex makes some good poopie. I like the ultra gray.
Hay taryl were is your shop location if its close to me I mite stop buy and ask a few questions and show you some of my problems
Holy shit I laughed my ass off when you pounded his head in the roof
Do i have to drain the oil out 1st? My Kohler on my Troybilt started to leak here.only 3 years old

I have a Kohler Command 16 that just started smoking oil on the muffler. Would the fix be the same?
+MrGoosePit If gas has mixed with the oil thats a sign of a leaky carb. Check & see if gas has gotten into the crankcase.
Again great advice , Can i ask where you great the white paper you lay the parts on .
Regards Pete.
+Peter Froud Those are absorbent mats. Luckily I have a customer who works for a company that uses those so he gets them for me. They work great for oil on the floor they will absorb the oil out of the concrete if you let them sit long enough on the oil puddle. I'm sure you can inquire about them from your car repair shops.
Thanks Taryl i will look in to it . They do look the buisness. I am sure one of the suppliers will b able to help me.
Would your Permatex gasket repair be preferable to the stock factory oil sump gasket on a Briggs & Stratton opposed twin engine?
+WeldstarCreations I've read the sump gasket helps to keep crankshaft end play in spec. Using only silicone might result in too little end play.
+WeldstarCreations No , You need the gasket to set the engines end play on the crankcase. I use permatex High Tack sealant on those. It comes in a spray can like spray paint. Very sticky. Buy a can & check it out.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Also I am surprised you do not receive way more views than you do. I searched "lawn tractor repair" and "small engine repair" but your videos did not come up. Your videos are comprehensive AND easy to follow. Your skits are a hoot. With the proper exposure, I believe your viewing numbers will soar.
The only How-To I don't know is How-To get more exposure. I wish I could get the numbers to soar. Any thoughts on that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!
How tight do you set the valve cover bolts? I tried the permatex once and failed. I wanna get it right this next time.
65 in-lb for used bolts. For tightening sequence see www.manualslib.com/manual/598885/Kohler-Courage-Sv470.html?page=115
Let it fully cure for a coupla weeks, then tighten those bolts till about the aluminum strips it’s shit off. 4-500 ft-lbs should do it. If not, use a pipe extension on your breaker bar. Tighten the hella them...
Never leak again, and when it does, shove fireworks in the gas tank and send it to hell.
Damn. I followed the directions, and even let it sit for a week before i fired it up. It's now smoking worse than before. Guess i will have to do it all over again.

Are these engines as self destructing as they say???
