Which engines use the 32-755-49-S retrofit valve cover kit?

The 32-755-49-S fits only certain Kohler engines that list this part number in their parts manual. It is not a universal cover; compatibility depends on engine model, specification, and serial number. Check your engine plate or service manual to match the exact part number before purchase.

How do I know this is the correct replacement for my engine?

Confirming fit requires matching the Kohler part number and checking the engine’s model/spec/serial on the ID plate. Many engines look similar but use different retrofit components, so cross-referencing the part number is the most reliable method. If in doubt, consult Kohler’s parts lookup or your service technician.
