Had the gasket on the oil pan of my Kohler give out and started to leak oil. Pulled the motor and looked for a replacement gasket and didn't really see any listed. Kohler's website said use RTV sealant so that's what I did. Every time I tighten the pan bolts it locks up the motor. They don't even need to be tightened to torque spec. Just more than finger tight. I think the pan is bottoming out on the crankshaft which obviously it didn't do with the gasket. Finally found a gasket today so I'm going to try that out tomorrow. Question I have is that I have a washer between the crankshaft and the oil pan on the output shaft but any diagrams I see for this motor doesn't show one. Any ideas?
Thanks!
