I am learning how to adjust the valve space on a briggs and stratton 31C707 type 3346 G6 code 110510ZD
I bought it used and thought somone had messed with it becuase it had a gray RTV gasket instead of the traditional gasket I see on all videos.
But I did see a web site saying to use RTV after 07. So I am wondering if a gasket is available and if so why not use that so that adjustments can be made.
It was a time waster to have to get that old RTV stuff off. In case I make a mistake adjusting the valves I dont want to have to scrape off the RTV so soon after putting it on or if I want to adjust in a couple years.
I see Jacks Small engines mention the factory gasket is only before 07 but others are not mentioning it like Sears Parts direct. They list 272475S
On Amazon , in one review someone stated they did not have any issues with part 272475S and their 17.5 came with the RTV.
I would like to know if I must use the RTV glupe or can use the part mentioned.
Thanks
