Briggs & Stratton Cylinder Head Gasket - 692249

Product Details & Features

Ensure your Briggs & Stratton small engine maintains proper compression and leak-free performance with this genuine cylinder head gasket (Part 692249). This essential engine seal sits between the cylinder head and engine block, creating a durable, gas- and oil-resistant barrier that helps preserve optimal combustion and reliable operation. 

The Briggs & Stratton 692249 cylinder head gasket is engineered to the manufacturer’s exact specifications and is designed specifically for use on selected Briggs & Stratton Quantum series engines. It replaces older part number 272916 and helps maintain proper sealing integrity under the intense heat and pressure of combustion. 

Key Features:

• Genuine OEM Quality: Made by Briggs & Stratton to original factory specifications, guaranteeing reliable fit and long-lasting performance. 

• Critical Engine Seal: Creates an effective seal between the cylinder head and engine block to help maintain engine compression and prevent leaks of combustion gases, oil and coolant (where applicable). 

• Heat & Pressure Resistant: Constructed from materials designed to withstand operating temperatures and pressures found in small petrol engines. 

• Direct Replacement: Designed to replace part 272916 and fit a wide range of Briggs & Stratton Quantum engine model/type codes — always check compatibility with your exact model before installing. 

• Precise Fit: Engineered for the exact thickness and profile needed to maintain correct cylinder head alignment and sealing performance. 

Why It Matters:
A cylinder head gasket is one of the most important seals in your engine’s top end. Over time gaskets can degrade from heat cycling, leading to loss of compression, poor performance, oil or gas leakage, increased emissions and other issues. Replacing a worn or damaged gasket with this genuine Briggs & Stratton 692249 unit helps restore proper engine sealing, improves starting and run quality, and supports longer engine life.
