Tecumseh Engines

Head, or cylinder gaskets, used on Tecumseh engines serve the important purpose of maintaining cylinder compression. To accomplish this, the head gasket must endure a number of extreme conditions from the high pressure generated on the compression stroke to the high temperatures at normal engine operation. Failure of the head gasket will result in substantial loss of engine performance. Due to the extreme conditions, Tecumseh head gaskets are made from either graphite or a metal clad graphite construction.
Tecumseh Head Gasket
Once removed, the head gasket on Tecumseh engines should always be replaced with the correct new one during engine re-assembly. An important reason for this is the uneven compression that takes place in the gasket material when the head bolts are tightened. Re-using the old gasket can result in a poor seal between the cylinder head and the engine block and subsequently a loss in engine performance. It is also important to follow the correct tightening sequence and torque specifications when re-installing the cylinder head.
