Replaces 11004-2091 and the earlier 11004-2079. PART NUMBERS 11004-2091 - current number, supplied here 11004-2079 - the earlier number. The two are interchangeable. Fits the FB460V across its spec suffixes. ENGINE SPECIFICATION Displacement - 460cc, 28.1 cubic inches Bore - 89mm Stroke - 74mm Output - 12.5 horsepower at 3600 rpm Compression ratio - 6.4 to 1 Configuration - single cylinder, air cooled, vertical shaft, SIDE VALVE (L head) This is a side valve engine, not an overhead valve engine. It uses a satellite exhaust valve with a rotator. Plenty of listings and parts sites get this wrong, so it is worth stating. DOING THE JOB SO IT LASTS CHECK THE HEAD FOR WARPAGE. This is the single most useful thing you can do while the head is off, and it is the reason head gaskets get replaced twice. Lay the head face down on a flat surface - a piece of plate glass or a surface plate - and check for gaps with a feeler gauge at more than six points around the face. The factory maximum allowable warp is 0.4mm, which is 0.015 inch. If it is within that, the head can be refaced. If it is beyond that, the head needs replacing. A warped head will blow a new gasket out just as quickly as it blew out the old one. TORQUE. Head bolts go to 34 to 39 Newton metres, which is 25 to 29 foot pounds. Coat the threads with a light film of oil first. Run all the bolts down evenly by hand, then torque them in the sequence shown in your engine manual, working up in stages. The manual is explicit that you should not turn one screw down completely before the others, because that warps the head - which is very likely how a good many of these gaskets failed in the first place. NO SEALANT. Do not use sealer, gasket goo, copper spray or anything else on this gasket. It seals dry. Sealant on a head gasket of this type stops it seating properly. CLEAN THE COOLING FINS. Poor cooling from dirt and obstructions is a documented cause of overheating on these engines, and overheating is hard on head gaskets and on valves. Take the flywheel housing off and clean the fins out properly while you are in there. OTHER FIGURES YOU MAY WANT WHILE YOU ARE IN THERE Valve clearance, cold - intake 0.15mm or .006 inch, exhaust 0.20mm or .008 inch Valve seat width - 1.0 to 1.6mm, both valves Spark plug - 28 Newton metres, 20 foot pounds Connecting rod bolts - 19 to 20 Newton metres, 14 to 15 foot pounds Flywheel nut - 83 to 88 Newton metres, 62 to 65 foot pounds Piston ring end gap - 0.7mm maximum No retorque interval is specified for these head bolts, so there is nothing to go back and do after a few hours of running. FINDING YOUR ENGINE NUMBERS. The model and spec number are on the engine's own tag.

Fits the FB460V across its spec suffixes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHECK THE HEAD FOR FLATNESS WHILE IT IS OFF - This is the step that decides whether you do this job once or twice. Lay the head on a flat surface and check it with a feeler gauge at more than six points. The factory limit is 0.4mm, which is 0.015 inch. Under that and the head can be refaced.

Run every bolt down evenly by hand first, then torque them in the sequence shown in your engine manual, in stages.

ONE THING TO CHECK ON THE FC420V Kawasaki used two different ring packs on the 89mm FC420V across its production run, and the bore is the same in both cases. Later engines - piston 13001-2130, ring set 13008-6053. This listing. Earlier engines - piston 13001-2092, ring set 13008-6001. A different set, which we also sell. Same 89mm bore, different rings. So a flat answer of \"it fits an FC420V\" is not quite enough on this engine. Read the spec suffix on the engine tag, or read the number off the old piston when you have it out. If your engine takes 13001-2092, buy our 13008-6001 listing instead of this one. SPECIFICATION Bore - 89mm, standard FC420V - 423cc, stroke 68mm FC540V - 535cc, stroke 86mm Configuration - overhead valve, air cooled, vertical shaft, single cylinder Ring end gap, compression rings - 0.900mm Ring width - 1.940mm WHAT IS IN A SET Top compression ring, second compression ring and the oil control ring - one cylinder's worth. SIZES 13008-6053 - standard, 89mm. Supplied here. 13025-6020 - oversize, plus 0.50mm, used with piston 13029-2106. Not supplied here. There is no plus 0.25mm or plus 0.75mm ring set in this family. Those sizes exist only in the earlier 13008-6001 family. Standard rings will not seal in a bored cylinder and cannot be returned once fitted. If the block has been machined, measure it and order the oversize set. WHAT THESE ENGINES WENT INTO Vertical shaft general purpose engines used in riding mowers, lawn tractors, front mount mowers, commercial walk behind mowers and tillers. FINDING YOUR NUMBERS. The model and spec number are on the engine's own tag or stamped on the blower housing. The plate on the machine carries the equipment builder's number, which does not cross to engine parts. GETTING NEW RINGS TO SEAT Check the bore for taper and glaze first. New rings will not bed into a glazed bore and the engine will smoke. Hone lightly if it is only glazed, then wash the bore out with hot soapy water and dry it. Honing grit left in the bore will ruin new rings in a few hours. Check ring end gap in your own bore. Do not assume the published figure. Check side clearance in the piston ring grooves - worn grooves pass oil with new rings fitted. Fit the oil control ring assembly in the right order and make sure the expander ends butt rather than overlap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALL THREE ENGINES ARE 89MM - THAT PART IS STRAIGHTFORWARD - FC401V, FC420V and FC540V all run an 89mm bore, which is why one ring set covers the group. Replaces 13008-6053. These are single cylinder overhead valve vertical shaft engines, so one set does one engine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHECK YOUR SPEC SUFFIX IF YOU HAVE AN FC420V - Kawasaki ran two ring packs on the 89mm FC420V over its life.

Read the spec suffix on the engine tag, or read the number off the old piston, and if it is an early one you want our 13008-6001 listing rather than this one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWHAT IS IN A SET - Top compression ring, second compression ring and the oil control ring for one cylinder. Ring end gap on the compression rings is 0.900mm and ring width is 1.940mm on this family. Check end gap in your own bore before assembly rather than trusting the figure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTANDARD SIZE - THE ONLY OVERSIZE IS PLUS 0.50MM - These are standard rings.
