🔧 Stens 055-046 Head Gasket: Premium Replacement for Kohler 12 041 10-S in Sleek Silver Review

Seriously guys! It's a goddamn headgasket, get your morning porridge out of the box and at least wrap my headgasket in that crap! If you worked at Walmart you would put my balls in a jar, nice bag, good work, send me another one for free, try harder this time.

I've used Stens pads quite a bit and their head gaskets like these hold up well. In some cases they are better engineered than factory parts (if you look at Briggs and Stratton). I will note that it comes in very protective packaging so as not to damage the seal, especially by flexing.

Haven't had a pad in a long time but so far so good. the only thing there is. I would recommend buying direct from Stens, the first pad was sent to me via Amazon and the box was fine but the pad was clearly boxed on Amazon and broken in half, a replacement was received via UPS the next day and plenty more neatly packed.

I never normally give less than 5 stars. Turns out customers were right when most said they get theirs bent or wrinkled. That's how I understood it, the box was in perfect condition. Which would lead me to believe it was done by the carrier. I also just installed some crap that bent and left doubts about the quality and durability of my repair.

I received this gasket in a box with an air filter and smaller items. It arrived with a crease on one side which caused it to peel about an inch long. I installed it anyway, hoping that if the head screws were tight enough it might work. It worked for several hours and gradually lost power. When I removed the head this time, the gasket was completely split in two. The seal must be transported between two rigid pieces of material.
