Second post with a different question. Putting together the rebuild on the GXV 120 engine for the HR214 mower. I pulled off 4 oil seals and put 4 new ones back on, but I have this one hole that is unaccounted for (see first picture). The second picture of the inside of the engine indicates it actually does vent inside the engine. Is there an oil seal that goes here?? The shop manuals are silent and show nothing except possibly a 12x20x6 oil seal Part number 91201-427-003. Does anyone have any ideas??

My goodness, what a lousy-looking casting! It appears to be loaded with cracks!
But I've no idea about the hole.

taongisurvivor: In those pictures is the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system. What goes in the "Hole" is this rubber hose. This is the hose that is labeled #3 in the picture. There is no seal, just some silicone spray on the larger end to force it into the provision. I've performed many GXV120 rebuilds and that's my method.

HarmonySeeker: Those cracks are superficial and nothing to worry about, so don't get your panties in a bind.

Ah, someone knows what the hole is for.
Give the man a charute!
Or send me $5 and I'll send you a pair, binds and all.

I'm surprised you didn't know what that hole was for, wise guy.
