Thanks for watching! For those of you wondering about the Roof Palomino (Lawn Mower Jeep), Taryl is currently working on it and there will be part 2 and more coming soon. These projects take time and we only have so much time in a day/week/month so bear with us! More to come, Stay Tuned...

I also do small engine repair for a living and thought I'd share a tip. I purchased this tool from Harbor freight and it makes removing the carb main jet and emulsion tube from Honda/Chinese engines much easier. It's such a low profile tool that you can easily get to the jet/tube without removing the entire carb. I use the skinny flathead bit that it comes with, it seems to work better than other bits. On a lot of these Honda engines and Chinese snowblowers, there isn't enough room to remove the main jet and tube without removing the carburetor, this tool easily fits in almost all tight spaces and allows you to remove these for a much faster repair. I use a 90 degree pick to push the emulsion tube out. I doubt you'll see this comment but I thought I'd share this tip that has saved me a ton of time. m.harborfreight.com/8-piece-right-angle-screwdriver-92630.html?Fnot%20provided

Hey Mr. Taryl! I just ordered me some stuff.... that fancy grass scraper tool and a signed photo! Thanks for the great vids! Have a great Christmas 🍺🇺🇸👍

@williamh.hutchinson2858 5 лет назад

Taryl question for ya, what would make a 23 hp Kohler freeze up at the top of the crankshaft under the top seal, I mean just lock up!

@Tibetan1962 28 дней назад

Taryl and the gang: Thanks for this video. Using the secrets contained within I was able to repair my 2011 MTD Gold, complete with a Cruller 19 HP Discourage engine. Now I don't look like a Sopwith Camel that's been freshly shot down in WWI. With a fresh valve cover gasket the mower is smoke-free. Don't judge me: The mower came with the property when I bought the house 8 years ago. With your help I have been babying the POS for all these years! Per your latest video, when I went to buy a new blade brake shoe/bracket, which should cost about $6, I was very surprised to see it listed for $63 from MTD. Wow. I will fabricate!

Thank you for this video! I’m a 65 year old tiny lady and I was able to repair my riding lawnmower following your video!!

@jdimeo1966 Год назад

Thanks for posting this tip. I used this method on my Kohler valve cover even though it was a different model. I tried to repair my oil leak just like the Kohler TSM stated twice unsuccessfully. According to the TSM, my Kohler command uses RTV only (no gasket) to seal valve cover. I tried 1/8 bead first, no luck. Tried a 1/4 bead second time, no luck. Then went searching on RU-vid. After viewing this video, I went to NAPA, purchased a FelPRo sheet of gasket material (1/8 inch). Made me a gasket and used your repair method. NO LEAKS. THANKS!

@NuTT62 4 года назад

I did this method to fix the oil leaking on my exhaust and smoking issue. Since I did this, it no longer leaks or smokes. Thanks Taryl!

@mikeo9219 3 месяца назад

Lol thanks for the lesson on the "Kroller"valve gasket change....just what I needed

@drummindog 3 года назад

Taryl and Co: Love your videos. This one in particular really was a huge help. I’m not handy, but you have educated me enough to do certain repairs on my mower. Thank you! Thanks for the laughs and learning. Long live Taryl, Junior, Slippers and Ronnie!

@HillbillyOffroading 5 лет назад

I have to say this is the best one I've ever watched. We had an old 2006 Craftsman Ys 4500 red model that leaked. Don't have that one anymore but we do have a I'm not sure of the year Troy-Bilt bronco. It's leaking and smoking and burning oil. Thanks for sharing!

The recommendations and directions in this video were spot on...thank you!

@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP 5 лет назад

*Taryl- and anyone else:* The actual "defect" that causes this leak- is that the cover itself is incorrectly made. The recessed gasket area is too deep, and the edge of the cover pushes against the engine before the gasket can properly seal. To remedy this: Using either a belt sander or Taryl's sandpaper on table trick he uses to resurface heads- carefully remove some of the edge of the valve cover, about 1 - 1.5mm should be enough. Make sure the new surface is flat, and the cover isn't warped; see if you can slide a feeler gauge underneath it when on a flat surface.

@ricklarson9524 Год назад

Taryl, I thought I was watching myself all over again. I do the same thing with one exception. I use a high tac brush on sealer on the engine side also. No leaks. I watch you videos daily. Good work. Rick from Easley SC.

Another great video by the Grass Rats, keep up the great work. even with the fun videos, we can all learn a lot.

@itsmewildbill2296 5 лет назад

Another great video, Taryl! Sadly, I have about 15 Krohler Courages on the lot - they either have that big crack at the front right side of the block, they're knocking and vibrating and they're about to blow, or they've blown up and the block is completely ventilated. But it's a great tip for anybody who's Courage hasn't bit it yet!

@arthurvandelay7677 Год назад

Today is 31 January 2023. I just found out from your channel yesterday about the list of Kohler Courage problems which could be affecting my mower...which I've been using since 2007. The cover plate bolts weren't loose (the the two in front did move when I put the muscle on them), but the valve cover gasket had been leaking. A lot. I'm gonna put this fix on it. Thanks!

@brucel.6078 5 лет назад

Hahaaaaa!!!! Omg that was great! I love you guys! Thank you for all the fun videos!

@Evilslayer73 5 лет назад

@amyjones1640 5 лет назад

Just aquired a scrub cadet for free today because it is leaking from the valve cover and it wouldn't turn over. One of the rocker arm studs worked it's way loose and it set the valve lash so far out that the compression release wasn't working. Tighten it up and set the valves in it and it fired up and ran like a burning barn. Tons of smoke. Guess when it cools down I will be giving this a go. Thanks for the great info taryl fixes all.

@RealManSkills 4 года назад

Thanks for this. I have a Krowler in the shop for the second time because of the same leak. I never want to see it again! I also replaced the crankcase gasket before but that seems to be in good shape - although I will still check those bolts. (I did use loctite)

@tinyseams 5 лет назад

Hilarious! Haha I am still laughing thinking about it! Loved the fix too.

@ryanmckee2089 5 лет назад

Awesome tip Taryl. Wish the video was longer. You guys are better entertainment than anything on tv! 👍🏻

@bocfat 4 года назад

You might be on to something with the two metal pieces getting sealed with the RTV, and cork gasket mates with engine fine, now easy to adjust valves too! Good Tip

@J0B- 5 лет назад

x car tech here now getting into lawn mowers and rotovaters etc and your vids are great for pro's as well due to getting to know the common faults etc so thank you.... by the way them oil pressure switches are a common fault on cars to , is the heating and cooling also can leak down center and out the terminal .

@Remydelco 5 лет назад

My repair using your original method is still holding up well! But this is a good idea for adjusting the rockers

@christianmillard2254 2 месяца назад

I fixed 2 Courrage engines with your gasket hack but went one step further by putting a heat shield between the valve cover and the muffler My repair is going two years with absolutely no leaks at all My opinion is I think the muffler is cooking the lower gasket area

@billsmith4840 5 лет назад

Great video thanks

@chrisharlow6652 5 лет назад

Awesome video worked on my Troy- bilt xp horse

@Gary65437 Год назад

After building a few chevy engines I just use the high temp RTV with no gasket, especially the cork ones that will split around the bolts if put on too tight. The key is a very clean surface, put the goop on and bolt it right on with no waiting around unless the RTV calls for it. Let it cure over night and never had a leak. Don't smear it all over with your finger and it will be easier to take off and clean up again next time.

@jerrytrussell9059 2 года назад

Method worked great. Had to tighten the valve cover bolts again after engine heated up.

@mouseyou12 5 лет назад

Merry Christmas And Happy New Year .

@pmc9088 5 лет назад

On gasketed valve or differential covers I always use O-rings around the bolts under the cover as spacers for the RTV. If the bolts don't have lock washers I always use thread locker and don't over-torque. The O-rings act as spacers so the RTV doesn't get pinched out to thin. It's easier for the average guy to keep RTV and an O-ring assortment around than it is to buy application specific gaskets. There's your midnight snack...

@artifactsantlersoh 2 года назад

I might have to try this. Thanks

@FisherCatProductions Год назад

That's probably a good way for first-timers to make a proper "gasket", without squeezing the fresh sealant out of the interface. There is an art to molding it into a gasket as opposed to trying to glue the pieces together! After doing one or two the proper amount of torque becomes intuitive.

@zinnstigertownmowers780 5 лет назад

@4gauge10 5 лет назад

HAHA!!!!.Top notch video Tayrl/Jr./Ronnie,I like the way this video ended with a blooper on the very end. The very best way to fix a Krohler DISCOURAGE,is just DON'T buy one in the first place,I'm not sure what happened to Krohler,but every since they started cranking out their magnum V-twins,they have been nothing but problems,I bought a brand new Cub-Cadet model 2185 back in 1994 and it had the Krohler magnum 18hp.V-twin in it,that was the biggest mistake of my life,never again.

@garagedweller7159 5 лет назад

That's what I said,carbatrater . LOL Used some Taryl putty in the garage today on a project bike. Good stuff.

@mikedeiana1504 Год назад

@LawnZip Год назад

"The right stuff" every time I do a gasket on a kroler I say that out loud in your little voice like 10 times 😂

@chrisharlow6652 5 лет назад

Worked like an charm had no more leaks.

@sissymurphy9620 4 года назад

I have a cub cadet v twin built in 2016 so it has 2 and want to make sure to do it right .I changed the one on the troy built with success .I see soot around the 2 on the cub cadet and know that they need changed

@deant6627 5 лет назад

I flattened out the bolt holes using a bench vice and a socket on that cover and resealed it with gasket silicone. Alot of running time later and still no leaks. You need to flatten out the bolt holes due to people cranking the bolts up to tight because it starts leaking and then the extra pressure cause the bolt part of the tapper cover to sink into the cork gasket and form an indent making it impossible to get a good seal.

Just what to say Marry Christmas to you and your family, I love your videos keep them coming. 🎅🎅🤶🏻🤶🏻🌲🌲🥂🥂🍺🍺

@KHTimber 3 года назад

I just fixed my kohler courage valve cover using permatex high heat. I stripped 2 bolts. So I went up to 7mm bolts from 6mm. They will thread them selves. They will be hard going in but it works. Then put 7mm nuts on the back. Torqued to 75 inch pounds. I will let it sit till tomorrow afternoon. Wish me luck.

@Sctronic209 5 лет назад

Hi Taryl I have a 18 hp kohler courage it’s be starting ok but today it turned over slow not enough to start I also noticed the starter getting real hot haven’t checked battery bolts going to check it wondering if it could be the valves need adjusted

@waltergrady2501 Год назад

Thanks I learned something

@alexboi32 5 лет назад

Gotta have courage to run a krohler courage engine.....my craftsman has a 22hp courage, works great so far..... But I have a Kawasaki 17hp vtwin on standby lol. Great, funny vid as usual :) Looks like we went back in time since the 5hp briggs is torn apart in the background.

@lit1023 5 лет назад

Is your 22hp a twin? they aren't as bad as the single cylinder.

@alexboi32 5 лет назад

Sadly no, it is a single cylinder just like the one taryl did. I guess it is the highest hp rating for it which scares me since the lower hp courage break easily. Granted I'm on top of it as far as maintenance goes.

@007.3l 5 лет назад

Best of luck to you, the block will crack on the right hand side or the top cover will crack from the bolts vibrating loose usually around 400-700 hours, the tell tale sign is a oil leak, also muffler bolts vibrate out and leaking valve cover gasket, replaced many engines under warranty when I worked at the dealer years back, one of the worst small engines ever built by "krohler"

@MillardNorton 2 дня назад

I normally use the updated valve cover kit. No more issues with those.

@wcjcnc 4 года назад

I use the gasket maker called, “The Right Stuff” too. Love that stuff. But I use it without a gasket. Before I put the bottom bolt in I smear a little of the gasket maker around the bottom side of the head of the bolt. I’ve done probably 15 of these Kohler’s like that and haven’t had one leak yet.

@leedoran7981 2 года назад

can you do a video on the valve guides on this engine and the issue with the hard electric start?

@qzorn4440 4 года назад

Taryl, at the lawn-mower convention a guy was selling tubes of the Wrong-Stuff-Sealant out of the trunk of his car for a $1.00. it did not work, i think it was toothpaste? haha :) great video.

@robertrussell9783 4 года назад

Should you use 'the right stuff' only on the valve pan side of the gasket?

@MotivatedMetalworks 5 лет назад

Permatex also makes gasket adhesive in a can like antiseize with an applicator brush. It's tackier than a vegan in a steakhouse right out of the can, and makes a perfect seal as soon as you stick it on the mating surface. It's lots cheaper than the gasket maker or silicone.

@thensh1tguy 4 года назад

Can’t wait to fix this mower I just picked up for $50 lol easy fixes.

@andrewdow1609 4 года назад

Love your channel. I'd add one more thing to your general repair of all equipment. Before you put all the covers and crap back in place, start it and let it run...……..then while running, power wash the snot out of it. that will tell you where not to put water as you'll see and hear the motor slow down. clean everything, everywhere. then put all the covers back. then let it run for a few weeks. then take the covers back off when you are bored and have 6 beers to kill.....then look for new oil stains...if none...drink more beer in celebration...if you find some, fix that, while drinking more beer. rewash and repeat until no new oil or fluid leaks.

@marcstewart2328 5 лет назад

Still lovin the vids guys! just wondering though, any more work done on the 69 roof palomino?

@brucehelppie6119 2 года назад

taryl-thank you, i just fixed my leaking valve cover using your method. my top bolts were also loose just as you said they might be. my only issue is that my exhaust manifold bolts keep backing out and i ordered the wrong ones from partstree. i have a 2009 cub cadet that has the internal t45 boltheads. i've seen straight studs where i'm assuming you double nut them to keep them on. if you know the cub cadet part #, i'd appreciate it if you could respond. btw...your channel is outstanding...hilarious, too...

@GAHeard Год назад

Taryl can I swap my Kohler 17hp. out with a 22hp. Kohler and do you have to swap belts as well. I watch your repair shop just about all the time you really help me out on a lot of my lawnmower repair's. Hope to hear from you about the engine swap. George Heard

@tellfile 3 года назад

Mine smoked like a house on fire because there was always a puddle of oil in center of muffler that accumulated over night. I used Permatex 82099 Spray Sealant to fix it (no need to remove anything). It stopped my van's valve cover leak. I didn't have to tear the top of the Ford motor down just to get the valve covers off. Muffler still dry on my Kohler. It permeates into the gasket to make a hard glassy seal. I still can't believe it!
