Coffee Shop / Odd question about "briggs paint"
« on: August 26, 2011, 04:19:47 pm »
Someone on youtube came to me asking what color name or what color code briggs paint is on a red 5 horse I/C flathead. I generally use krylon paint, its not a pefect match, but i've been wandering this myself in case i ever have to paint one for someone who wants a perfect match. Thanks Guys!

thats what i'm gonna do, but on most engines i've built they done do that in just 10 minutes of running though. but yeah i'm gonna change oil in a couple more times. thanks for watching it!

Got a new camshaft and oil sump from Kutt_N_Dgrass81 and it runs better than it ever did, but after it was running for 20 minutes, then there is meteal particles in the oil, not a whole lot but enough to cause some damage, so i'm gonna do a oil change and run it again, then if it does it again, i'll tear it down and inspect everything again.

Pull the dowel pins and wait until the wife is gone and put it on top of the glass coffee table in the living roon. Then try and get a .001 feeler gauge between the glass and the seal area. If you can't then check the cam bearing with a good cam and you should be ready to go. Dont forget to wipe the oil off the table!

HAHAHA if i was married. lol that makes sense

scrap is about .70 a pound around here!  lol

LOL

Personally, for the simple fact that 12.5 motors are so readily available, it isn't cost effective to keep it to have it fixed.

true, i'll find me another block, i don't want to have to worry about it.

well, if nothing else if your planning a build just put on the crank, sump, head, and tins and use it as a mock-up engine.   8)

now thats a good idea, i will do that, i'll keep it just for that, that will be very handy, thanks for the idea!

Alright guys, i need your opinion on this engine. This came off a grass cutter. It overheated becasue of 2 things, one he was cutting 3 foot high wet grass and 2 grass  blew in the fins blocking them up, it got so hot the muffler glowed cherry red and his dad lit a cigarette off it. Tore it down, all the inside of the crank case is a golden brown color from the oil baked in. then i find a crack behind the valves, and a broken valve guide bushing, way to much piston play in the cylinder. look at the pics and tell me what you all think, thanks guys!
