Oil By Pass Gasket on a Kohler M-18

Recommended Posts

Would like to add a remote oil filter mount to my 418. Kohler sold a kit 52-702-01 for remotely mounting the filter and I picked up a used one last Fall. Unfortunately it did not come with a gasket for the plate that mounts on the block. The gasket part number is 52-041-16 and I was wondering if it was specially made for that application, or could I make one from gasket material that's oil resistant?

If some of you have installed a similar kit or have rebuilt an M-18, I'd be interested in your experience.

 

Thanks!

I have never installed one of these kits, but have made many gaskets from 1/32" thick vellumoid sheet.    I use spray contact cement to glue the sheet to the adapter, then trim the inside, outside and bolt holes with an xacto knife. Then apply grease to the gasket before assembly.
