Briggs Low Compression after Rebuild

[stoshzack]

Cast iron bore, so it can be honed. Technically it's hole bored out of aluminum, with a iron sleeve pressed in.

So, in the future, if I wanted to get it machined for slightly oversized piston head to improve compression, is that okay on an iron sleeve (aka cast iron bore)?

Yes, Briggs offers oversize piston and rings. Keep in mind if you do have it bored, be sure to give the machinist the standard bore diameter, so they can go the appropriate size up,
