What is "Can't"? I will remind you that you are a BITOGer.

Good point!

Hey rudolphna,I just got a great idea! try some of that ENGINE RESTORE I think its called (they make it for 4,6 & 8 cylinder engines. Supposedly puts a film in the cylinder wall to cover up all the scratches etc.
This would be a good test for that stuff!
LOL you all want me to spend money I don't have... I don't even have any money to put gas in my car at the moment. As a teenager in high school, finding a job in this area isn't the easiest thing to do. Yes I would be interested in that restore stuff though, it WOULD be a good test of it. But first I want to take it apart to see the damage. And If by some miracle I can reassemble it, then we'll see.

Indeed. I disassembled it today. Took a bunch of pictures, uploading them now!
...
I'll give ya $3 for it
and BTW after seeing the black brick that you may call an air filter that came off of my neighbors B&S I'm going to just clean mine every year and replace after a decade. Still going to change the oil every year with some cheap conventional though. You are sick to treat an engine that way.
You have way to much free time on your hands! lol
Just read the whole thread. Awesome. Sorry to bump an old thread but did you ever get pics of teardown?

Wow, I thought I posted pics of the teardown. Yeah, here ya go.
Wow. Just . . . wow. It does make me a little sad, too. Glad I didn't have to do it.
My grandfather had a small engine shop, so I had access to all kinds of parts from scrap engines that I mangled together into running engines. It was amazing how bullet proof those old engines were. That being said, I do not think any of the Briggs engines built in the last 10 years are made with anywhere near the quality and durability of previous generations.

For the record, after I reassembled it, it still ran. It flung 20W-50 out the bottom crank bearing all over the ground and inside of the deck, and smoked like a steam engine, but it ran. I was shocked. Tough little brigs.
