The Kohler CH440 Exhaust Gasket (OEM 17 041 50) is a genuine replacement engine sealing component designed for use on selected Kohler CH440 engines. The exhaust gasket provides a secure seal between the engine exhaust outlet and muffler assembly, helping to prevent exhaust leaks, maintain correct engine performance, and ensure efficient exhaust gas flow.
Manufactured to OEM specifications from heat-resistant gasket materials, the exhaust gasket is engineered to withstand high exhaust temperatures, pressure fluctuations, vibration, and the demanding conditions encountered in construction, industrial, and outdoor power equipment applications. Precision-manufactured for an accurate fit, it is designed as a direct replacement component to restore the integrity and reliability of the exhaust system.
FUNCTION AND OPERATION
- Provides a reliable seal between the engine and exhaust assembly
- Helps prevent exhaust gas leaks
- Maintains efficient exhaust flow
- Reduces the risk of heat and fumes escaping at the joint
- Withstands high temperatures and engine vibration
- Supports reliable engine performance

Always verify compatibility using the engine model, specification, and serial number before ordering, as exhaust gaskets can vary in shape, thickness, mounting arrangement, and application between engine models and production revisions.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always confirm the correct OEM part number, engine model, serial number, and exhaust system specification before ordering, as exhaust gaskets are manufactured to precise dimensions and temperature requirements. Installing the correct component is essential to prevent exhaust leaks, maintain engine efficiency, and ensure reliable operation.
Common signs that an exhaust gasket requires replacement include exhaust noise, visible soot around the exhaust joint, exhaust fumes escaping near the engine outlet, reduced engine performance, or a damaged or deteriorated gasket during inspection. When replacing the exhaust gasket, it is recommended to inspect the muffler, exhaust mounting bolts, studs, and surrounding exhaust components for signs of wear or damage. Replacing any worn associated components at the same time will help maximise the reliability and service life of the complete exhaust system.
