Motoman, most of the time I agree with you,
Ditto...though not always as it can be what one reads differently in a post
that can provoke separate thought trains. Regardless, it is experience
that most rely on here, and Motoman sure exhibits plenty of that.
but your last post is one I need to reply to.
u
... likewise me to yorn.
It fair gives me the irrits to read a response as yours which so much mirrors
that dealers/manufacturers/warranty rebuilders (and the like) offer when THEIR
work/product fails. "Oh you didn't clean your teeth so now you got decay and
you want to blame God!"
To wit..
With the number of Briggs engines out there, I doubt it is a substandard alloy. Just about every time I have seen guide movement, I have also found cooling fins which were packed with debris. This will not allow the heads to cool properly and raise the temp of the alloy. The alloy and steel guide are designed to work together at the proper temperatures and if you change the operating temps, something is going to happen.
Soooo... in your learned'd opinion the possibilty Motoman raises is null because you
say it's more likely an experienced mech. is going to run a motor hot from
ignorance or laziness or both?!
Excuse me for noting You are well out of order, Sir.
Motoman is likely waaaay too much of a genl'menz to pull you into line, not I.
I earnt my scars the hard way.
Read my thread and tell me my fins are "packed with debri", Sir.

Even though I have worked with most of the engine manufacturers and a few of the equipment manufacturers in the last 40 years, I know I am not in bed with any manufacturer and I doubt any of the other "pro" are there either. That comment was out of bounds.
It is all speculation, other than "Robert/Honda" who is to know who's who?
It would be highly unusual for sponsers of LMF not to have 'moles' at least
monitoring posts. I am going to leave that (your affdavit) as it stands.
I simply find it interesting you chose to make it.
This...?
This is only my opinion, and many will say it ain't worth a darn, as I'm only a retired grease monkey instructor and not a professional mechanic. Use what I post at your own risk as you know teachers only know book knowledge.
Wellllll,, may I have space to comment....
Aussies, generally, are not inclined towards chest beating, Tarzanism.
My quals would likely give you even more palpitations then you are already
moved to. Suffice to say I got broken fingernails AND paper on the wall, plus
many an hour spent with manufacturer's international reps working through
some significant problems - not combustion engine related.
Never at that level have I experienced any paricipant being handed a tube of
Colgate and a toothbrush in answer to a theoretical proposition or even more
of a testimonial to a component failure.
Now where that, by your mantra, is what you have been instructing
"grease monkeys" to do when faced with complex outcomes reported then
gawwwd help those buying into these mower machines who own an OCD in
respect of cleanliness...the psycho wards will overflow!
The exit lanes of mower repair shops littered with corpses!
Sorry Motoman,, if I stole yer thunder
Post as read fairly got my goat as it is precisely what Kawa agents are trying
to sell me. It aint workin' :/
