Funny. Exactly what I was doing :)I put the new head gasket on today. Fired it up, smoking problem fixed. Tomorrow the rockers need to be adjusted.

Thanks for the info and not wasting a lot of time. Appreciate it. Doug

Very informative and understanding process in performing the rocker arm adjustment. Thank you for making this video. First time ever subscribing to a channel.

Great video on the valve lash

Great video. Very professional. Thanks!

Something even easier = put finger or thumb over spark plug hole and slowly rotate flywheel. The compression stroke will push thumb off the plug hole THEN insert a feeler rod into plug hole and come on up to TDC and maybe a couple of degrees past TDC depending on engine specs. Now check and adjust valve clearance. The compression stroke is what you are looking for here before making adjustments. I can't believe all you "master mechanics" miss this easy tip.

Your presentation is superb. So informative and given so down to earth. Nice beard :)

Thank you for your help

"if they are both loose your in right spot" if not wrong stroke....this fixed my issues😊 I also marked my flywheel using piston stop...made life easier!

Thank you for your video, worked like a charm!

Excellent video--thanks!

short and sweet thanks alot! much help!

Very helpful, I’m just getting into small engine repair.

Excellent, liked & subbed! I have a B&S 28V707 given to me in a Murray Select rider mower. I have used this for several years and I have never checked the valve lash, and I don't think it has ever been checked. I saw what the spec was 5-7 and 3-5 and was pleasantly surprised when you told what the spec was and the gauge you used, that was the help I needed. Superlative! So today is the day! Thank you!

So many videos about this procedure seems to focus on the valve clearance. Getting the engine to TDC is the most important step I believe. Without that all is lost.

Correct is ¼” past Top Dead Center

Sometime i need to buy some more hipa cleaners again for cleaning out carburetor jet holes my old set are kinda dirty

Great video and to the point.

Great video thank you if I could make one recommendation it would have been good to mention the importance of replacing the old gasket properly by removing and cleaning the cover and using a new gasket and applying sealant as well as cross tightening the cover bolts evenly to torque spec.

Thanks for watching and sharing the helpful tips. Really good suggestion.

This must be done every year on ohv engines Easy and simple 😊

The usual position on an Intek is just past TDC, with the stick going in by ¼ inch.

When i put in the new camshaft on that same engine i noticed the top valve inside the engine was a little stiff pulling it out it was stiff halfway out like the hole it fits in needs drilled out to smoothen it up Its the part at the end of the push rod inside the engine My compression release on the old camshaft was still good and worked but the lobes were worn down on the camshaft and thats what my problem was. I seen on one name brand replacement part that came with my parts from Briggs for that same engine wasn't the exact match for the oil pump so i didn't use that part i didn't need it anyways wouldn't have fit my oil pump anyways mines part is round at the bottom and flat on top of the part

Dankeschön für gute viedeo, ARKADAS

? using the tdc method as shown in the video do i need to re do the tdc to adjust the intake? or finding it for the exhaust serves for both?

Would this be the same procedure for a Honda OHV 5hp rotary mower except for the feeler gauge used?

I checked and adjusted the valve lash on my 1972 4 cylinder MGB sports car which has the opposite way of adjusting the lash and, thus, confused me. On the "B", the clearance is set by adjusting the center adjusting screw and it is the NUT that locks the adjusting screw in place. It looks like, with these mower engines, the clearance is set by moving the NUT and then the hex or torx screw is used to lock the setting down. Am I correct?

I think my mower engine came from a junkyard because after i took it all apart i seen someone wrote some numbers on the inside of it only place that does that is at junkyards and maybe from the manufacturer im not sure.

❤

is this a symptom of excessive gap in the exhaust valve: mower will try to yank your arm off when starting after a couple pulls. seems to only happen when cold, about halfway through a pull it will violently pull the cord back into the engine. runs perfect once it starts though. others have advised me it might be the flywheel key.

On a 21hp platinum is exhaust on top or bottom

What is the model of this engine? I have the same exact one! :)

Yeah, can't seem to find the specs on my Briggs, just advertisement pages.

Great vid , Do you have one for a older flat head design?

Should you adjust both rocker arms at top dead center when you set the valves a 4 and 6?

I had the same issue on my briggs v twin. I'm guessing that the factory used the sealant on the valve covers, there was no gasket. I was able to gently pry them up at the corner with a small flat blade screwdriver. Be careful not to gouge the aluminium head, my valve cover bent slightly but was easily straightened with pliers. I cleaned both sides of the sealing joints, and used a very thin layer of copper rtv to re seal.

I have a question just had a problem with my 17.5 removed the valve cover and the intake rocker was loose the stud back out and the little cap is missing from the top of the in take valve cant find not in the oil or filter just ordered a new one have you ever had that happen?? Thanks

@HipaParts

11 ай бұрын

Hell, sorry to take so long to reply but yes I have seen that before. But I ended up finding the cap as it fell out unnoticed when I removed the valve cover. You definitely want to pull the pushrods and check that they are straight as this is a common problem on these engines. Thanks, Eddie

I have the exact same motor but can't find the manual anywhere on the Internet. Could you share where you got your specs?

I went to do this and rotating the flywheel moved my valves just fine. I inserted a dowel (#2 pencil) into the plug hole and the piston didn’t seem to move on either end. I applied a little bit of force and it seemed to move the piston down, but now my flywheel is locked up. What happened and how do I fix it?

Did the entire pencil come back out or did you break a piece off onside the cylinder?

How do determine which valve in the intake and which is exhaust?

Waste of time to find TDC, when 1 valve is fully open the other is fully closed ....set that one then rotate the engine to do the other when fully closed.Easy peasy!

Hello, thanks! I agree with you there are shortcuts to the process that come with experience. This video is meant for complete beginners and from an instructional viewpoint it is easier to show getting both valves slack just past the compression stroke so there is no chance of being on a down or up stroke. It is the way Briggs teaches/recommends it and is the way I would recommend learning it. Once you are comfortable knowing what is actually happening, then feel free to use all the shortcuts you want. All the best!
