Briggs Stratton 796851 Cylinder Head Gasket

Product Description

The BRIGGS STRATTON 796851 is a cylinder head gasket designed for use in small gasoline engines manufactured by Briggs and Stratton. The cylinder head gasket seals the combustion chamber between the engine block and the cylinder head, maintaining compression and preventing coolant or oil from entering the combustion zone. This is an OEM-sourced replacement part intended for installation by small engine technicians and qualified service personnel performing top-end engine rebuilds or head replacements.

This gasket is suited for residential lawn and garden power equipment powered by Briggs and Stratton small engines. Typical applications include walk-behind lawn mowers, riding mowers, and other outdoor power equipment where the original cylinder head gasket has failed, been damaged by overheating, or requires replacement during a cylinder head service procedure.

Installation Notes

Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly before installing the new gasket to ensure a proper seal. Follow the engine manufacturer's service manual for head bolt tightening sequence; improper reassembly can result in gasket failure or engine damage.
