Review on πŸ”§ High-Quality Engine Gasket Set: Partman Fit for Briggs & Stratton 495868 - Replaces 491856, 394501, 393278 by Sam Bell

Valve stem seals not included

Most seal kits include valve stem seals but not this one. uses one for each intake valve) delay reassembly in time. The GM LS V8s from what I found online are the same dimensions, but I don't need the $30+ 16 gaskets as I only need two. Not using an exhaust gasket on this engine makes little sense as the oil gets hot, especially if the guides are a bit worn, but Briggs only needs two gaskets. The search term for the type of seal is "cylinder head valve stem seal".

Pros
  • Replacement parts
Cons
  • Faulty
