Briggs OHV & Vanguard / Re: Big Bore 49 Intek V-Twin??

Inteck heads flow so poorly making the engine bigger will just make the problem worse  A small Vanguard with some ported 23 HP heads will have more power than any Inteck  14 to 1 compression is good but we used 14.5  you will need to "O" ring the heads and use copper gaskets

You need a service manual to find that

A few clubs use the same rules as the western ontario outlaws check out  their website Ryan Kerr that won the American Championship 2012 in FXT races there

i was just watching a race when a wheel broke  it went flying by me as i turned my back to talk to someone,  they wern't going to let him race with the steel rims but it was the first race he had been at so they told him he could race that time but the next race he would have to have real wheels

If you raise the compresion you will have more power but with copper gaskets you should "O" ring the heads we used 14.5 to ! compression and made about 80 hp with a 38 cu in Vanny and won the All American in 2008 when I helped Ryan Kerr but we ran that engine up to 13000 rpm  We used a flat piston and the heads were 22 CCs

Briggs OHV & Vanguard / Re: Vanny 23hp Heads
« on: November 03, 2016, 05:17:23 pm »
It is easy to see when 23 HP heads are on an engine,the top of the exhaust port is about 1/2" from the valve cover,the lower HP heads have the port much lower

I met George when he came to Canada to race,I don't think he liked me much because I helped Ryan Kerr to beat him,other than that he seemed like an alright guy and he will be missed   R.I.P.

Briggs OHV & Vanguard / Re: Heavier single valve spring?
« on: July 04, 2016, 10:39:50 pm »
Gui---your valves are too heavy,we got 12000 with those springs with 48 pounds seat pressure but the hollow cams would break and destroy the engine

If you want large bore don't use sleeves and chrome the cylinders.Then you could have even bigger bore.

Briggs Flathead / Re: oversize valve seat OD size?
« on: January 04, 2016, 06:21:31 pm »
Take it to an automotive machine shop,they can use a cutter to bore the seat larger and put a new seat in,seats come in all sizes and are installed with .005" press fit

Briggs Flathead / Re: 18 hp flathead vs vanguard
« on: December 25, 2015, 06:19:41 pm »
You could probably get 50 HP from the Vanguard,you won't from the flathead
