On determining your CID on Briggs motor see the following pages on the Briggs website nor66

Locating Model & Type Number
Model Numbering System

[nor66]

I appreciate the info, Thats a good site to bookmark

[mowdak1]

Yes sir, it certainly is! Once you get your model number and type located you can do a search on engine specs by model number also. And... once you get there you'll find they have a parts break down by group, typically the first 4 digits of the model number followed by 2 zeroes.  

i.e. The 441577 Model engine falls in the 441500 model group. Complete parts break down in .pdf file for that model group is available on the site, as are most of them.

Definitely a keeper!!

Hey George have you guys got those billet retainers in yet at E.C haven't heard anything in a while. :?:

[George Herrin]

No sir we are expecting them any time though. Sucks when you waiting on some one else. I promise once we have em I will post it.

[nor66]

Thanks George I was just wondering, I have changed the retainers to the new style but would really like the extra spring rate to get all the cam contour I can get.

[nor66]

Hey George, any news on those retainers yet? Haven,t been on here in a while just curious. :?:  :?:

[George Herrin]

I will check in the morning, been elbow deep in carbs,

[nor66]

Thanks I hope you have good news!

[George Herrin]

:shock: :wink: We now have billet retainers for the dual springs these will fit any ohv or flat head with the small diameter valves. They use the original split locks and you must use the lash caps that are on the tips of the vlaves on the briggs single ohv's. A pair will sell for 29.95. Some of the OHV heads may require light machining where the spring sets depending on year made!!! Either cut the boss completely off or cut it to a smaller o.d.

[nor66]

Thanks George thats good news! Do you know what year ohv engine that you might not have to modify to make fit?  :?:

[George Herrin]

As to which year its really a crap shoot. I am not sure which ones year wise. We have two hear we had for mock up one we did one we didn't.

[nor66]

well as soon as I build up my mad Mower fund I will be giving you guys a call I have a few extra heads to try them on. does that price include the springs too? :?:

[George Herrin]

Yes 29.95 includes 2 springs and 2 billet retainers. All are designed to work with the original slpit locks. We also have the billet retainers now available for the larger valves such as 12 hp and Tecumseh TVT twins. Same price 29.95 get you a pair.
