Briggs and Stratton 163cc over head valve engine rebuild Pt. 1 

This video REALY helps people like me who have tools and no money for big repair bills thanks so so so much!

Thank you. This video series is great. It has helped me immensely rebuild a nonstarting b and s 450e mower. Your viewers appreciate your thoroughness and work ethic. :)

The detail on your 163 cc rebuild videos is fantastic.

Excellent. Not only was this informative but well produced. Lighting and sound were great, you covered the topic very clearly; I can see your experience and knowledge. I'm glad you didn't waste my time talking about the weather or your problems in life. You have increased my knowledge and my confidence. Maybe the best RU-vid instructional videos I've seen. By the way, I'm a college professor.

great video and so was the tear down video. Thinking seriously about starting a small engine repair shop from home. I can rebuild motors pretty well and have almost every tool i think i would need Thank You Daddy for the tools. I inherited his when he passed and along with mine think i am set on tools I do need a good torc wrench though. The trouble shooting a small engine i may need some experience but will learn. Thanks for the great video it gives me confidence that i can accomplish this and along with my SS live without having to be at work at 5:am as i do now.

This video has helped me so much thank you I can finally mow my lawn

Superb series of videos!!

Nice job, smart and clear thanks.

Excellent video, thank you!

Very well done. Experience shows.

Very informative! Thank you!

awesome indeed sir. im just a little confused with the govener to the rod. i dont get how the rod works against the govener drive sprocket shaft.

Thank you so much for the video! After I put the camshaft, the it turns only with the bracket loose. After I torque the screw 100 inch pound it would not rotate. Any ideas?

Jake, I have a 09P602, 140 cc. And I have had no luck finding specs, I bought a Briggs&Stratton Repair Guide for Single Cyl OHV Air Cooled Engines that covers 97700 and 99700 Vertical Shaft engines which I thought would be close enough. Anyways, thanks for your video, a lot more helpful than the guide I bought.

I have an old Luv Bug riding mower.. 6.75 Briggs. I noticed the belt pulley attached to the bottom of the crank shaft comes in contact with the deck pulley when the deck is lifted to highest setting. There is a limited Clarence between these two pulleys. There isn’t any way to adjust the deck for it is fixed other than one adjustment to level it from left to right for even cutting. I come to find excessive up and down movement in the crank. Enough that it causes this clearance issue with the deck pulley. The engine runs great. I simply won’t use blade deck on highest level. I changed oil twice and put new carb, air filter and plug in and installed all new drive belts. This was a trash find. Cuts great! My question is how much life do you think is left in this engine and can the main bearing be replaced on the crank or is it possible wear in the crank that is causing this play?

Have you done the snowblower engine? 21M114 does the arrow on the piston go towards the PTO OR flywheel? And the rod, the PTO side goes to the rear and the MAG goes toward the front? Thanks.

Thanks for your help an videos

Good job

Where can you get engine specs like journal diameter for example for the crank? Thanks great video

Hi there how do you set up the governor on the top of the engine from rev too high please cheers Matt

Jake, not much spec info on the B&S 675EXi motor, your videos were a great help. Any procedure for adjusting the governor?

I pop the head off, just to have a see I put it back and tighten it back up. Does this cause a problem?

It`s a nice excursion to the inside of the engine!!! :) It seems to me, I have to do this, because of possible camshaft issues... Do you have an idea how to diagnose it prior to engine disassembly, please? Some people advised to check a special bounce of a decompression mechanism, manually rotating flywheel at the end of compression cycle... If no bouncing or clicking effect- camshaft needs to be replaced. However, this method is useful for more powerful engines. Is this still effective for this type of engine4s, or decompressor works differently here and no "bounce" is OK? Thank you

Great video! Just noticing the half assed paint job by Briggs. Lol. Either paint the thing black or don’t. Instead they spray the bottom of the block and figure you won’t notice the paint missing from the cylinder head 😒

where is a good place to find a complete rebuild kit?

What is the part number for the cam that fits this mower thanks

Excellent!

Excellent video!, very good shots and very well explained, but such a job to rebuild an engine with plastic parts?...

I have one of this machine, but I have a problem: When I try to turn on, the cord is hard to move. I try to rotate shaft with my hand and I feel hard, I can move it but I ferl hard. What are the posibles issues?? Thanks.

Is top dead center important when doing the valve lash

Thank you for the video! I have an engine that was run with too little oil - it seized. I can turn it about 1/2 rotation, but it stops hard. What should I be looking for that is causing it not to turn fully?

intake valve is not the one u set as intake. u test the engine or only do for utube . ?

Can you tell me the model number of that engine, I have the same one and need the part number for the piston rings. Thank you

Great video and very helpful. I have a question about the slinger and governor/crank arm. Using time 7:11 as a reference - how does the arm that is resting on the slinger interact with it when the motor is running? Isn't the slinger just slinging oil? How is the governor crank interacting with the slinger and how do you correctly set it? With the engine apart, and no springs attached, it just freely rotates.

Timing Question: I have just opened up an engine with a broken rod…the green timing gear notch is not aligned with the crank timing gear notch…out by approx 45 deg on the green cam gear…how can that be ???? Could a rod failure cause the gears to jump?

where did you order your parts from???

Superb video series! I have just dismantled one of these engines and found that the green timing gear marker was NOT aligned with the marker on the crank gear…out by approx 45 degrees…how could that possibly be ?? The rod is broken but I assume a broken rod would not cause the timing gears to jump …or????

I noticed that you didn't oil the parts prior to installation. I have seen other mechanics do that. Great job!

Its the lubesystem only the part on the crankshaft,

Question: at around 16:30 I think you mix up the intake and exhaust rocker arm. Please check that because you also refer to the gap, which could be incorrect.

this helped a bunch. Is pt.2 available?

You from MN? Same here brother

When is part 2 going to be uploaded?

👍

I got oil leaking from my valve cover

I have question

Not finding the link to part 2 of this series.

Confused. When adjusting for valve clearance. The video showing you adjusting the valve with the long rocker,you called it the intake valve and you set it to 0.004. it is actually the exhaust valve. Did I miss understand that.

Used no assembly lube at all 👍😉

Is the cam shaft plastic?

No compression relief lever on cam??

Assembly lube !

Where’s teardown

Test

Plastic camshaft? Talk about planned obsolescence….
