Husqvarna 532186054 Exhaust Gasket Kohler CV18 CV26

Product Description

The HUSQVARNA 532186054 is a genuine OEM exhaust gasket designed to seal the exhaust port on Kohler CV18 through CV26 series engines. This gasket sits between the exhaust manifold or pipe and the engine block, preventing exhaust gas leaks that reduce power, increase emissions, and create heat damage over time. Licensed technicians and small-engine mechanics install this part as a direct replacement during exhaust system service or engine top-end rebuilds. Using a genuine OEM gasket ensures correct material composition and dimensional fit, which matters when sealing surfaces are exposed to high heat and exhaust pressure cycles.

This exhaust gasket is suited to outdoor power equipment powered by Kohler CV-series V-twin engines, including riding mowers and zero-turn platforms commonly found in residential and light commercial applications. It is intended as an exact replacement whenever the original gasket is found to be burned, cracked, compressed, or leaking during routine inspection or exhaust system service. The raw title references Kohler CV18 and CV26 engine families as the applicable range.
