953 nut 51,481 #2 Posted September 17, 2016 I think you are correct about the head gasket. Napa should have it. Kohler Single Cylinder Engine Specs _ Torque Values and Sequences for Fasteners _ Identification & Torque Settings of Most Commonly Used Grades of Bolts (1) (1).html Be sure to check the head over carefully, place some adhesive backed sand paper on a sheet of glass and gently sand the head on it to check for flatness.
