I'm getting a new Cam this week and will look to see if that piece is part of it. There's no other plastic inside

My guess was where they came through the body there was no plastic protection and the metal broke through grounding it out during transport

I looked over that and all sides didn't look like they had pieces missing on it

I'm replacing the cam shaft in a briggs engine (31R607 0011 G1) cause the compression release broke. Everything else moves around ok so I think I got lucky andit just dropped in bottom. Here's a pic of all the pieces I found in bottom. But there was a white plastic piece that I wasn't expecting...

SOLVED So I decided to drain the oil to see if anything came out...I put my telescoping magnet pen inside and cam out with these pieces that look like the compression pieces on cam and when you look inside the tube this piece was too big to come out Anyone replaced a cam in one of these? (No...

Ok I think I saw the bump on the lower valve, don't see it on mine. I adjusted the valves by fully closing one and adjusting other method and it didn't change. Here's a video of a noise I'm hearing inside when I believe I'm supposed to see the bump Bump Noise here

Any videos of this "bump"? I'm trying to fond one on youtube to see what it is I'm missing

The lower rocker arm is really loose when closed and intake is moving. When I'm after compression stroke both aren't too bad and seem adjusted (see video) I've seen where some people have found TDC on compression stroke and moved 1/4" in and others who have set the feeler guages to when say...

I adjusted them to spec after compression and at top but no change. Here's an icloud link to a video of the valves moving. I got through 2 cycles and at the end I go back and forth. Does anyone see anything weird or missing? Like the "bump" Valve Movement Link Here

Actually now that I look at what I did, I don't think I was on compression stroke when I found TDC. I was just after Exhaust when it was up high showing through the spark plug hole...shoot maybe that's why Intake/Compression/Power/Exhaust...I'll look for TDC after the Compression one and let you...

So after checking theses things... -I removed spark plug and it cranks over no problem -With cover off this is the sequence I see... Top intake valve opens and closes, as its closing the bottom exhaust moves, then there's a delay until that top valve starts to move again. In that delay time is...

I know Top dead center...is the B for before?

What's bump off seat BTDC?

I have a 14.5hp briggs (31R607-0011-G1) and it wants to start to turn over but it isn't completely. Well it did run a couple times but stalls or not at all now. The flywheel starts to turn but stops -I thought starter but had it off and tested it and it's working fine. -I isolated everything...
