sticks and prevent oil from lubing a while. never used it for 50 years

On Pontiac the front (left side) of the main cap number as it is written, goes to the front of the motor.

Hello, I have the same engine and I want to restore it but I don't know the model and I'm missing many parts. I also don't know how many strokes it is and what oil to use. I hope you can help me, please.

Glad you take the time to cover your complete lube. Makes you feel better when she turns right over down the road. Just wish the manufacturer did the same. You know how it goes with mass production. 🙏

need to know how to remove this plug

I thought you never use synthetic oil to break-in one of these engines. Always use conventional oil for the break-in then next time you can use synthetic if so desired. I've heard that from several mechanics.

Very good fix. Hey I have to weld on the exhaust of a mower. I was wondering what I should disconnect before welding? Pull fuses and disconnect the battery cables?? Don't want to fry anything.

Hello friend, cordial greetings from Venezuela 🇻🇪 Please I would like to know the torque that the connecting rod, the crankcase and the cover or chamber of the 3.5 HP BRIGGS STRATTON engine should have, thank you very much for your excellent and very detailed explanation, congratulations.

Good vid , were you macking sure powervalve doesn't come in contact with piston

Thanx for the info! Well done video, well explained.

what is this cover where you can see the actual valve position? I lost a lower bolt, how to replace it with?

I was messing around and I turned the bolt you said to not mess with it felt like it got really loose then I tightened it back any advice

This has to be one of the worst and most annoying videos I have seen for a long time. Mumbling, hugs gaps, digression. People just want to know how to put an engine back together. Cavitation my arse.

Recall the motor specs ? Thanks, Mike

Your theory is correct. However, wouldn't it be easier to pass a marker though each leg and mark your holes on the concrete. Then move your tank out of the way and drill perpendicular holes where the marks are. Because you're drilling on an angle, when you install your anchors and bolts , you will not have the best surface contact. Especially if youre leaving a 16th inch gap between the nut and washer. Youll have a 16th of an inch on one side of the nut/washer and a larger gap closer to an 1/8th of an inch on the high side.

how did you get the drive puppy off the bottom

I know this is an old video and not sure if mentioned but when drilling holes that small you must start with a center drill. For a hole that size use a #2 center drill for pilot then drill. A good cutting oil also a must and drill press. I drilled one this week for a small ford. One drill, less than five minutes. Hope this helps others.

I know its a long time but, I have a suburban Aire SA40n and I love it. Finally found someone working with problems and showing the disassembling of some parts. I am trying to diagnose my problem without replacing all parts that are not readily available. Would like to pick your brain a little if you are still available

The anchor bolt washer needs insulator under. It's also or it's gonna vibrate the hell out of the concrete

You need to insulate the bottom of the anchor flat flag and the top of the anchor leg. What would you what it's gonna vibrate? The s*** out of the concrete will pop and break apart. What if you don'translate on top of the anchor leg?

You need to insulate the hold down bolt also. Why did you drill the hole at an angle go or sideways? Why did you drill it sideways?

What size piston you use 53.95

What was the torque to the sump bolts?

Is a rope seal used when the OE seals dont stop leaks anymore?

So, what was the problem that indicated a rebuild was needed? Reason I ask is my unit seems to have good compression and starts easily but it is burning oil almost constantly.

This adventure of yours was so captivating that I watched the entire series in one go. Needless to say that it was a great learning experience and getting educated on the internal intricies of a small engine. Thanks for sharing.

The right size socket works good on seals.............Z

QUESTION.... I CANT GET A STRAIGHT CUT ON THE ROPE SEAL. IS IT BAD THAT IT FRAYS? I BOUGHT BRAND SPANKIN NEW BLADES AND IT FRAYS. SHOULD I BUY A NEW REAR SEAL?

Is this how you adjust when the power valve hits?

are the pistons marked like a big engine or how do you decide which way to put the piston; I notice that the con-rod is shaped a certain way?

if you use too much of assembly lube won't it stop the oil from entering the bearing? just a thought that came to mind

normal aluminum cylinders are coated with nikasil, which only diamond honers can work in. ..you can probably scratch the surface a little and remove the worst dirt. but you can't hone nikasil with a stone honer

Was it the water pump? Sounds like same problem the one I bought had. Ended up being bad water pump. Shaft was broken and jumped time. New pump Antifreeze and timing belt it fired up first turn!

engine without bearings in the main tree? WTF in that?

Excellent Work!!!! It's a A+ to me! Great videos!

hello, which way to set the piston in briggs&stratton 13.5 HP 2008 model 21b807-0667-b1. I don't know if the arrow on the piston is supposed to look at the flywheel or down?

I don't know if you'll read this but that's the bathroom fan that is in my half bath, I was hoping that you would have shown the part number for the new fan and motor thanks 😊

To cold to work in shop so I’m watching videos

Really a leak down test tells you every thing that’s needed as far as block and valves goes Flat head = valve job 😊

What oil filter does this take? I can't seem to find a cross reference for it and nothing in the owner manual.

I have seen that problem a couple times before and it was the machine shops fault both times.you may want to have the other things you had done rechecked by another shop.if faulty you should be able to make the first shop pay even if u have to sue them as a last step.goodluçk.

Nul, beaucoup trop lent, beaucoup de blabla pour rien.

Galley! Not gallery!

The dip of the fluid is called a meniscus.looks like you have 101 combustion chamber. why didn't you use 455 heads. If you want performance Go to A #64.head It's a 1970 455HO 87 CC combustion chamber 370 HP

6Xis not a 455 head code the 455 head is 6H. 6X was in the 350/400 engines The 350 Has a smaller combustion chamber and was popular to put on a 400 to boost it's HP The 400 6X has a 101 cc combustion chamber

In my other comment the word metalshaper came out as newspaper. Don't know why but it's metalshaper
