Description
Overview:
This intake valve is a Genuine Kohler part for CH and CV series petrol engines, supplied under OEM number 12 017 01-S.

Built to Kohler specifications, it offers a precise fit in the guide and against the seat, supporting reliable sealing and long service life when used with correctly maintained valve springs, retainers, and seats. This is a practical, service-grade component for routine engine maintenance and repair.
