(UPDATE) My Vintage Briggs Flathead is getting low on Compression.

Scrub- Thanks man. & after all that, I still will have an old deck with bad wheels (again).. I re-bush them. But that only lasts so long.

I wouldn't mind some new pusher. Probably Honda powered.

Tom- Why do you suspect oil did your damage shown ? I am extremely curious.

That topic has been beat to death these days. Barrier lubrication, eliminated from most current oils, extremely important with flat tappet cams and here with the untreated unsleeved aluminum bore motors.

Yep, I'm on board with Good oil for my Flat tappet Kawasaki.

But musta missed info on the un-treated unsleeved aluminum bore engines..

Thanks..
