I'm hoping that it was something left in the engine by mistake and was kicked around by the crank shaft, but I have not rebuild a briggs and stratton in a long time, don't know what's changed inside. I'm told this is a replacement engine for the those mower, so it's second engine.

Used to crank hard, burned up the starter, new starter works great though, was a free mower, and I'm sure it was run with little or no oil because the valve cover leaked bad onto the muffler after i filled the oil, Fixed that and noticed under the fuel tank was now more covered in oil, I figured...

This big

The location and hopefully engine info, does still run, and we'll, other than oil everywhere

This came though the back of my 19hp craftsman briggs and stratton engine, there is a hole, I'll fix that, but what is it? It's half round, flat on one side, looks important but the engine still runs, other than blowing oil out all over the place.
