    Tecumseh BVS153 - rod knock or not?

    We'll see. Oversized pistons and tings are the last thing on my mind due to it is to find ANY piston for this engine, and a oversized/special one would be a real headache to get and/or pay for. I really do hope honing will do the trick. If not, hey, buying oil every 2 weeks it is then.

    Tecumseh BVS153 - rod knock or not?

    Here where I live, the cheapest ones (which are total crap) would take me 2-3 monthly wages to pay it off, so. the cheapest ones are expensive for me. But I do feel like it's time to get a upgrade anyways.

    Tecumseh BVS153 - rod knock or not?

    Well, the mower is serving me well. And it's a nice vintage mower with still perfectly working gearbox for the wheels, a key and a starter, a battery charger coil, and large bag, and everything pretty much is stock on it, nothing is broken and it cunts the highest grass without any issues. I...

Blade surely isn't - that guy ain't going anywhere, it's literally impossible to take it off without a 80% change...

    Tecumseh BVS153 - rod knock or not?

    Thanks for the reply. As for the oil, the dripping started a few weeks ago, I suspect a bad crankcase gasket (the engine is 25+ years old). And it is burning oil ever since I own it. I'll stay with honing and replacing piston rings for now, since no machinists are near me in the area, and I...

    Tecumseh BVS153 - rod knock or not?

    Hello folks, I want to know if my engine has a rod knock, since I'll be a doing replacing all the gaskets as soon as winter hits since oil has started leaking all around the block. So, if I'm already opening, I'd like to replacing the rod (if it's the part that's bad) too. Also going to replace...
