Briggs engine 44q977. How do the valve seals come out and how are new ones installed?

Makes sense. But what if you took equal number of “strokes” on sandpaper on both halves of the rod?

Mine did not have instructions. It’s from harbor freight but don’t yell at me……

How can I insure I am reading it right and it is accurate?

Why did I come up with .9996??

Standard- 0 to 1 inch

Trying to teach myself to read and calibrate a micrometer. Can anyone tell me this reading?

What do you mean pinch the journal?

I have no clue who to contact at Briggs. I have heard a rule of thumb is .001 times the crank normal diameter but have no clue if that is right.

No it’s to my John Deere zero turn

The client crank cleaned up with muriatic acid and I polished it to a shiny finish the governor gear never exploded and is intact I am not sure what else to check on that.

I have a 27 hp Briggs v twin with aluminum rods. I broke a rod so I am rebuilding it. It goes to my lawn mower. Can you tell me what to look for in terms of clearance between my rod and crank journal? If the clearance is too much, can I mill the rod halves to make the large rod journal smaller...

This is what I was talking about

Not outside the pan

Broken rod. Is that open area below the stub the pto shaft goes through look right?
