Description
Overview:
This is a Genuine Kohler heat deflector gasket designed for the SV-series single-cylinder petrol engines used in garden and light construction machinery. It sits between the heat deflector/shield and the engine mating surface to provide a reliable thermal barrier and a gas-tight seal. Manufactured from high‐temperature gasket material, it helps protect nearby components from excessive heat and prevents leaks once the deflector is refitted. Supplied as a direct replacement for OEM 20 041 18-S, it is suitable for engines such as the SV470 and SV471 found on many ride-on mowers, compact equipment, and other machinery. Choosing a genuine part helps maintain correct fit, performance, and service life, and supports smooth, efficient running after routine maintenance or repairs.
Key Features:
- Genuine Kohler part for assured compatibility and quality
- High-temperature resistant gasket material to manage heat transfer
- Accurate factory dimensions for a proper seal and fit
- Helps protect plastics, wiring, and fuel system parts from heat soak
- Supports smooth running by maintaining correct sealing of the heat deflector
- Direct replacement for OEM 20 041 18-S
