Outstanding valve job with superior explanations and extremely accurate videography. Except for the most important shot at the end proving that he tripled the compression! 😂 Anyway keep up the great work and thanks again. 👍👍👍

Great video-very helpful. The one thing I wish video makers would keep in mind is that us gals work on small engines, cars, trucks, etc. My father was an awesome mechanic and taught me a lot. He never got past 6th grade but could read so when he needed to know how to do something, he would pick up a book. He would be amazed at today's KZread videos. Keep up the good work and THANKS!!!

This tutorial is excellent, explaining the tools and materials required, the specifications necessary for properly torqueing the head bolts, the valve clearances for each valve as well as all the steps required to properly perform the job. Thanks for the GREAT instructional video!

Watching that really makes a person appreciate how much easier it is to adjust the valves on the OHV motors.

Nice video! You took what could be an intimidating procedure for most DIY'ers and explained clearly how complete the job along with what tools to use. Thank you for posting.

Great compression, and vast improvement with valve job, etc. Nice of you to give this snowblower to your brother in law.

Always enjoy your repair lessons, thanks so much!

Nice work! The details and explanation was very informative. I've done this years ago so, your video gave me a good refresher. The only small engine video you need is right here.

Thanks for the concise and clear explanation. I had the general idea going in, but you showed me a lot of little tricks that will help me out.

Great video! Lots of good tips. I am getting ready to rebuild the HM80 (Tecumseh). I only had about 55 on my initial compression check. Gonna do my valves and hope my outcome is like yours. Thanks for sharing!

Such a nicely shot video with step by step instructions, great info, thank you for sharing your expertise.

Awesome tutorial. Very detailed and you explained, step by step, in detail. My Tecumseh 8hp snowblower is starting to make a popping nose, which I think could be and exhaust valve. Your video gives me the confidence to tackle the repair myself. Thanks again.

Thanks for the very concise video. Nicely done!

Great job! Love the video’s. Hang in there and keep your head up. God Bless you and family.

That was very helpful and well produced, thanks!

Nicely done, and good idea for a countertop cut-out, thanks!

Very well explained, in particular how seating them changes the lash meaning they also need the stem end grinding. Thank you.

Perfect!!!!! I need to check valve clearance on Briggs Stratton flat head lawn mower engine and this is great video!!!! Thanks!!!

Thanks for this detailed well filmed tutorial on valve job....... great job

Thanks for the video. Question: does the stem being out of spec change the geometry of the relationship of the valve to the seat? If so, why lap the valve before adjusting the valve clearance?

Great video..what would that valve job cost in a shop..just want to know if it's worth fixing..mine stops when I blow deep snow..it has a new carb on it. thank you

Yes,on my Briggs lawnmower I reused the cylinder head gasket which was fitted in 1988,a few years ago I did a valve job & over Christmas time I replaced the piston rings ?

Hey DW6, I have an old Tecumseh 5 hp from the 90's and I've checked the valve clearance in the old manual I have and it says to do .010 in for both Intake and Exhaust Valves. It is an HS50 and online it says to do Intake: .004 in and Exhaust: .010 in. Do you know which one I should follow? Thanks

Nice job

What site do you use to look up the engine specs or do you use multiple? I always seem to find what I need but it would be really nice if there someplace that listed a bunch of that stuff. Great vid. I am currently working on a Cub Cadet ZTR with a kawasaki and used your vid for some reference so i surely appreciate that. I had laugh at the end of this one because like you, the carb is the last piece i need to run and the wait is killing me. It would probably help if kawasaki sold carb kits instead of just individual pieces.Thanks for all the time you take to do these.

where is the link for the valve spring compressor. .and I wanted to order a few carbs but they are unavailable. .but I did order the lapping tool set. thank you

My question is what stroke should the piston be on to check my valve lash...on a car it's at the end of the exhaust stroke with piston at tdc abd both valves close but I'm seeing where everyone is saying to check the valve lash on the end of the compression stroke...which is correct? End of exhaust stroke as I know tdc on a car both valves are open the same amount which isn't right to my knowledge

I already made on on an ariens 5HP 2 stage. The video can be searched on my channel and there are about 4 or 5 videos on it. It may be called snowblower restoration. It is a lot of work to replace the gearbox on these machines, especially if there is bad rust.

Hello from the uk my lawnmower simular problem I have spark & compression,&clean carburettor & won't start could it be the valves? Being self tort don't know were to look next! Any advice would be much appreciated thanks for all your videos.

I get several tecumseh a year on snowblowers need valve work. Even had one so few hours could read factory writing on top of piston. The head gasket I order stens 465-393 for 5 hp tecumseh old style gaskett

Can you do a video on replacing valve guides on a Kohler flat head?

How much does it typically cost to get this service done ‘ball park]

On my flat head B&S engine half of the gasket is stuck to the cylinder head and the other half is stuck to the engine. The cylinder head was stuck to the engine when I removed the bolts. Do I need to replace the head gasket?

You bet no problem.

Just did this on mine. Absolutely no clearance for the exhaust valve. The machine ran pretty good, but didn't like to idle and would occasionally die. Upon using it, it barely had any power and would bog down easily. Most annoying part was getting the shroud with the recoil reinstalled. Complete pain in the ass, since it was such a perfect fit. Fiddled with it for probably 30 minutes, bending the bottom and tapping it on.

Always take a picture of the head and bolts prior to removal, it comes in handy later

When do you do a valve job on a flat head valve engine?

@1575murray

3 жыл бұрын

When compression and power are reduced and a cylinder leak down test indicates that you have leakage from the valves. The exhaust valve is the usual suspect as it tends to run hotter than the intake valve. If you have smoke and increased oil consumption then the rings are usually at fault.

Awe man, no start at the end?
