Old Briggs head gasket swap - cast or aluminum?

[ricklea1953]

Okay folks. Tomorrow I will be cleaning up the head and the block gasket surfaces. The gasket should be ready for pickup at my local parts store. I will install the bolts dry
and torque to b&s specs. We will see what happens.

I will be in touch if the head gasket renew works. If the compression doesn't improve I will scrap/junk the whole project.

Anyone want a 1963 Briggs mounted on a 1964 Toro Sportlawn 21? It is the original motor.

To the very lease check the valve adjustment.

The decarboning would probably help, but a good valve job would be ideal. Is it like this one? it would be great to get it running!

Thanks folks. I will be signing off from the forum. Too much ambiguous answers.

I found a local shop and a private e-mail source (off this forum) to give me the guidance I need.

Just out of curiosity, would have instilled any confidence in our responses? You obviously have your own agenda to grind, and you just came here to start some chit....
