Hi,
Was wondering if this engine has a Cast Iron Liner?

I was told it did?

Also looking for any opinions on it in general???

As usual we need all engine numbers before we can provide any help. Model, type and code.

Hi,
Well this is what I could find on the Engine.

Ok, I see where there was a tag by the blower housing and it is gone?

that is the EPA number the numbers we seek are stamped into the blower housing usually above the spark plug but could be on a plate close to the rotating screen, or above the muffler.

Hi,
Yes, as I said above that tag by the Blower housing is gone?

I can see where it was originally, but???

Thanks!

Remove the spark plug
rotate the engine so the piston is all the way down ( away from the head )
get a telescoping magnet and insert into the plug hole so it touches the sides of the cylinder
A cast iron liner will attract the magnet an alloy one will not
