Cool Need help replacing head gasket on K-301

Hi guys
I'm getting ready to replace the head gasket on my 1966 cub cadet 122 12hp Kohler I need to know if I need to use Permatex Ultra Copper Maximum Temperature RTV Silicone Gasket or if I need to install the head gasket dry. Also which holes in the engine are the 2 1/4inch and which ones take the 2 1/2 bolts and why there is no spacer?

thanks Thad

I can't help with the bolt issue, but head gaskets are designed to be installed dry. I do not recommend putting ANYTHING on it.

ive never had any issues as far as the bolt length go by the time theres a washer on the bolt and its going through the exhaust shield or the gas tank holder ive never bottomed a head bolt. Theres only a couple bolts that go above the carb that stay after you take all the other stuff out maybe put them there

I just did the head gasket on my 124. Got new grade 8 bolts and washers. All bolts were the same length - 2 1/2 inch.. Put the gasket on dry. Torqued everything down . Ran it for 1/2 hour at 3/4 throttle under a load. Torqued the head again. Good to go.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
