Also look on the valve cover if you have one, if you don't see it ,maybe the valve cover was installed upside down and the numbers are facing down. Mirror or cell phone camera to see.

Do you have the old engine removed to get measurements from ? Is your crankshaft 3/4 inch diameter ? How long is the crankshaft ? With your old engine on a flat level surface (work bench ) measure from the level surface to the center of the crankshaft . This information for the Harbor freight...

I have very good luck with this engine . https://www.harborfreight.com/65-hp-212cc-ohv-horizontal-shaft-gas-engine-epa-69730.html

That does sound like the gas tank drained into the crankcase. Possibly the noise is fuel igniting in the exhaust. Even after you change oil it will smoke for another 5 to 10 minutes cleaning out the muffler. Another possible noise is this engine has hydraulic lifters and may not have enough oil...

By looking at your picture if you removed the four bolts from the bottom of the engine it should let it slide back enough to change the belt.

I agree, probably not a lawn mower engine . Might be off of some generator or special machine. I think the last morph dike crankshaft I messed with was a Power King 1816 made in the early 70's and maybe a Generac Generator out of a news van. Wisconsin Engines was also the thing that nightmare's...

I have had both of these issues you mention cause clouds of white smoke. One was a dip stick from another engine tricked the user to overfill , if it fits it ships . The other was carb not shutting off the fuel and draining into the engine oil, common on models with gas tank higher then engine .

Maybe some of Jim Jones's Kool-Aid might be on the menu

I had a building with truck tire racks in it and the birds would put the white frosting on the tires like they where on the clock and the boss was watching. I shut the big sliding doors and laid the Anhydrous Ammonia vapor hose in the walk in door , let it blow for 30 minutes , that was the end...

I always like that engine in the vertical series 1 and 2 . The rebuild kits said fits all Briggs Twins . I loved that there was no push rods, rocker arms , rotating cups on top of the valves. One ignition coil , simple charging system .Socket set ,pocket knife and a putty knife and you where Mr...

Maybe just a filter and top off the oil ? Here is a you tube video he shows draining it and the filter number he cross referenced to. Lot of filters will screw on but the microns may be wrong ,that is the size of holes in the filter material. I have had a few cub cadets hydros stop moving and...

If you are going to try the air chisel be Shure to use a dull bit, my bit is 1 1/2 wide and I polish it with a lapping wheel to make it slide in and back out with the soap , rotating the tire a inch at a time. I lay on my side in the driveway to do that job and is hard for me to swing the slide...

I am guessing you had to remove it to install a new belt, so it probably pulls the spindle brake off the pully when you engage the deck.

I think that transmission has a spin on filter and a plastic fan mounted on the pully . The transmission oil gets hot every time you use it, the air on the outside of the transmission is cooler . Thinking about a cold pop can in a warm room having beads of sweet running down and puddling on the...
