Taryl.. a quick fix you can do with those is to just pound your guide back down until it's flush.. and stick a mig welder in there and weld around the rim of your guide, (if it's steel, I'm assuming it is). Of course it won't weld to the aluminum, but it would burger up a weld on there enough that it can no longer slide out again. It shouldn't take that long, because if they are moving freely, they should easily press back down into place. If you're going to junk the heads anyway, what is there to lose? Just make sure you don't weld it too much and pull it out of round, to where it binds on your valve stem. It just needs a fat spot weld; maybe one on each side for good measure.
Got my dinner with my overheating B&S V-Twin! Bent push rods. Prior owner didnt watch Taryl, leaving the engine cooling fins covered with boogers. They even switched the Choke and Throttle cables. Poor girl was dying and I didnt even know. Thanks TARYL & Co!
Thank you Taryl. Thanks to you my husband and I were able to fix our 22 horse poser lawn tactor. This is the best description of setting the valves that I could find on youtube. We also dismantled and cleaned the starter gear. Great videos, and the comedy is also great. So Funny.
I have a 2017 Craftsman that was given to me with only 75 hours on it. It has a 24 hp Briggs twin. Nobody, including shops could figure out why it ran so crappy. Turns out, after watching this video, that if you completely remove the cooling tin instead of leaving the hard to get to screw and bending it, that there was a undetectable mouse nest completely blocking off the bottom cylinder fins! Thanks, Taryl!!
Plan on tearing into my intek this spring and going thru it and the mower to get ready for the season. Once again, an invaluable and FREE education brought to us by the fellers of the Grass Rats Garage! Thanks Taryl!
This video was such a huge help that I cannot thank you enough! I had never tried to do this job before, but with your video I tackled it like a pro! You made it look easy. Your video quality and attention to detail were phenomenal and your in-depth explanation for each step and the reason were solid throughout. thank you for helping me change a head on my mower.
I've learned a lot about small engine repair and laughed my ass off! These videos are gems! Thank you Taryl and everyone else involved in making these videos. You guys rock!!!
I made a repair to my own personal Intek as a test using Loctite 620 that is heat rated to 640 degrees, penned the boss surrounding the guide, flattened the peen marks, then tick welded the valve guide top and bottom with tiny welds to interfere with the ability to move and I'm 400 hours into the repair. I would NEVER do this repair on a customers engine, but I wanted to see if it was possible to get any life out of what would be considered a lost cause. Thanks for this video! Cheers! Zip~ Oh, and for the haters that say you're hurting the crank, bearings, flywheel...they don't know what they're talking about.
Taryl, I do understand why you replaced the heads rather than repairing the old ones since it was a customers mower. I had exactly the same scenario with my mower. I pressed the valve guides completely out, chucked them in a lathe and cut a fine groove in them at the head height, I reinserted the guides and penned the head material around the guide into the groove. The fix has lasted for five years of mowing on my acreage. (lots of mowing). I helped a friend of mine do the same to his mower. He lives a far distance from me so my lathe wasn't available. We chucked the guides into a drill press and used a hacksaw to cut the groove. this process has also worked fine without a subsequent failure. PS, I had to crack the case open to retrieve the pushrod also. I love your channel and have learned a lot from you. Plenty of laughs also. Keep up the GREAT videos.
this is the most amazing and entertaining video I've ever watch. I was looking for something different and stayed watching all the way to the end. AMAZING and learned a lot!!!!!
been watching your videos for a long time.Ive seen a lot of different people trying to do what you do but baby you are the best. I do small engines here in Napa Calif and you helped me start with your videos many times. I just got my crankshaft straightening jig. A lot of bent cranks lately.Started out in my garage and this thing turned out to be a monster.Bad gas,90 percent of time.I love getting carb spray in my eyeballs and gas soaked clothes.and oh yea dropping something and can't find it.You say here is your dinner I say it eats my lunch.All kidding aside I enjoy doing it and have no problem when they hand me some cabbage.Keep up the great videos and screw the critics.
Love the SOUND effects, especially the toilet flushing, good vid. Got me a flat surface from my nephew, works at a counter top place, granite, a sink cutout, works GREAT . I got me a "Magill a cutter " off Amazon, works great. You're amazingly knowledgeable and funny. Thumbs up to the cameraman on following you. Had the same issue but it was the rocker bolt that had come out a good 1/4 ". Liked to NEVER found it, and that was just by accident while cleaning. LOCTITE. Thanks dude
This skit had to be one of the funniest ever. You keep up the great content. We want more comedy. Anyone who wants more funny, hit thumbs up!thanks Tayrl.
It ain't the space shuttle for crying out loud !!! Love it. Your exactly right. Common sense still prevails in the real world. Thanks for all of your informative videos and fantastic humor.
I appreciate the irony of tareyl , I been working for a small engine shop for this past summer, I was a mow crew leader and the chief mechanic for a landscape company in the past so I was familiar with the basics of the equipment we used, but i have learned a lot by trial and error and my research, your videos are spot on... it's very sad mower shops aren't taken more seriously, people bring in a 5000 dollar piece of equipment that has been abused and not maintained, expect quick cheap fix, or a fix for free....and act like we are just dumb lawnmower mechanics, the truth is they don't know the difference between they're ass or a hole in their tire......keep up the good work, and thank you for the tips and experience your sharing . There's YOUR dinner....👍👍👍👍🛠🔧🔩⚙🗜🚜🚜
Mr. Taryl Dactyl, I love the fact you do not use a puller when you remove a flywheel. And I really love the fact you tell folks that probably never removed any to "SHUT UP", when they tell you to use a puller. Keep up the down to earth videos Mr. Dactyl! Informative and easy to follow.
I have a puller, and I get it tight then hit it with an assault hammer the flywheel comes right off. Don't really see any difference between prying against the flywheel or using the puller. The pry bar is faster too.
Appreciate the effort and sharing of tips and tricks to help out a doers out there! Love the editorial comments as well it helps me not take failure or miss steps too seriously.
Daryl have you ever heard this one? I've seen a old man very oldskool he took a piece of old fuel line and a drill to lap the valves in he put the valve in and put the gas line on the stem end and use a small pipe clamp to hold it in place put a bit in the drill put the gas line on the bit and slowly lap the valves in with a drill . It worked great. Love your vids keep up the good work.
Remember when he showed the old valve lap device? How it goes both ways? If you use a drill, be sure to reverse it both directions too! Not too long one way. Short to medium then switch.
THANKS Taryl !! Absolutely Awesome!!! An hour well spent with the master. Very often, I wish I could turn to you for advice on some bizarre problem, and then I remember..."The Best Tool You Have...Is Your Brain!". I truly hope one day I can repay you for your excellent presentations. Mr. Brown - North Central Florida
Hi Taryl. I watched all your videos and and I've learned so much from them I got my own equipment running and some of the neighbors saw it so now I've got a lot of the neighbors bringing me their stuff and most of it of course is gummed up carb-i-traitors but I've been able to get their stuff fixed and everything so now I'm getting paid to do it for them and they they keep bringing me their stuff so I thank you for all your videos there on the learning experience and I especially enjoy the skits. Thanks so much!!!!🎚️🇱🇷🇱🇷🙏🦖👍
As I sed in other adventures of Taryl fixes all, any guy who likes to work on engines should have Taryl as a brother, NOT just 4 his mechanical expertise but 4 being a great guy as well !
I put a gas additive gas mix with marvel Mystery oil, Lucas fuel conditioner in all the fuel used in my property mowing engine. At 525 hrs on the Intek 26 hp engine. So far so good. I hope it has been lubricating all those places to keep it running well. Had to use ST-205 in the oil because of the gaskets and valve seals. Fixed it right up. Taryl, you're the best.👍🙂
You the man- your dog wont bite the hand that's feed him I know I got one just like him HA -a man can learn a lot watching you and that's a compliment THANKS
I watch because your entertainment is crack me up funny taryl. I have been running a small engine shop for 2 yrs and it's my passion I've rebuilt several engines and sold close to 50 tractors. Keep up the great vids your the boss
This is awesome. I just got a mower similar to this free because it was smokin and barley running. Did everything myself. Now I have a good riding mower and I’m only in about a hundred bucks. Valve job took a while to get right. Thanks for the video man.
The best part of this video is I get to watch you do this before I have to! How can we prevent bent connecting rods on v-twin Intek motors? P. S. You can machine parts with a pice of glass and sandpaper, glass is always flat.
Curious design that would allow parts to fall into the lower block necessitating opening the block. As for your work, nothing beats the benefit of experience (for thoughtful learners). Beautifully edited video, and "just right" out-loud description. Most useful and welcome. Significant carbon on the piston top: running rich ? And that is preset at the factory, yes ?
@@eugeneoreilly9356 I'm not commenting on the push rods - I have plenty of experience with piston engines, and I've not seen one where the design would allow parts to fall into the block.
So after following this excellent video, I discovered a bent much rod just like this one! After falling the video to the end, my motor started right up. However I have a slight miss fire and there seems to seems to be running at at a slightly lower RPM at full throttle. Fouled plug? Valve issue? Any ideas please?
Thanks for all the info on the Briggs twin. I watched all of your videos on the subject and you did good. My old Briggs 25 hp bent the pushrod on the right side ( looking from the front ) exhaust valve. Mud had filled in all of the bottom of the head by the exhaust and no air could get through. The valve guide moved and you know the rest.The set screw saved me on this one. There is no way to clean that part of the head without pulling it off. I'll stock up on gaskets and make cleaning that a part of my maintenance from now on.
I have fixed many of these heads... By pushing the valve guide back down into place and putting a two spot welds on the valve guide on the valve side and two on the rocker arm side of the valve guide... I have never got a repeat repair back after doing this... Saves having to buy heads... Most of the time the cam gear is also broken... I do both heads regardless if it has slipped or not... Saves time in the long run...
I'm having problems with one of my B&S V-Twin so I re-visited this vid for tips. While my problem is different, I was curious about knurling the valve guides to hold them in place. Couple hundred years ago, we used to knurl Chevy V-8 valve guides so just wondering if it would work in this instance?
"oh you're gonna ruin it Taryl you should never do that... SHADDAP! I've been doing this for 40 years I never had an engine fail" Best line in the video! lol! Yeah if it were my mower i'd do it myself. i've been doing small engines for 20 years for myself, but the average person out there? no way. Great vid Taryl!
Had same thing happen. Used paracord and packed in cylinder and held valve shut. Removed valve spring keepers and tapped guides back in. Staked the guides and reassembled. Have been mowing 2 acres once a week now for 3 seasons and guides still haven't moved. Staking is worth a try and i had great results with it.
Thanks for making these videos. Got me a used Craftsman with this motor and it's fouling the plugs with black and smoking a bit when you first crank it up. Gonna tear her down and check out the heads. Done me a few 350 Chevys way back in the past. Should be able to do a V-Twin, lol. Nice to see the details up close before I rip mine apart. Did IT work for 30 years and got the same attitude you have, What, You gonna do it? Well, it's a lotta work. Looks easy cause I done seen it all.
Saw you great video on missing push rod. Any video that takes me from cylinder head removal to removing engine and opening oil sump? I was hoping I didn't need to figure out how to remove the engine first!
Picked myself up a 2014 Husqvarna YTH24V48 for $100. Bent push rods and was left in the elements of the Wisconsin weather. Cylinder has surface rust and an animal made a home on top of the engine. So the armatures are rusted. Small groves in the cylinder from the heat. I'm thinking about honing out the cylinders and buying new rings. Would you replace both heads if only one side had bent push rods? Should I do it or buy new engine?
The way you pulled that flywheel is exactly the way I pulled them on outboard motors for 30 years, I have broken too many puller bolts off in the flywheel by using stupid time wasting pullers, good mechanics find ways that work, you're right it don't hurt anything.
Great video very informative I went to start my mower 25hp bright straton it did a hydro lock and I won't turn on only a pop on carburator could it be bended valves thanks
I had the same thing happen to a friend’s intek v-twin. I think the carb gets plugged and makes the engine run lean, which causes the overheating and loose valve guides. I had to open mine up to get the pushrod out of the sump. I tapped the valve guide back down, and staked it in place. So far so good!
220 inch pound = 18 foot pounds..27 foot pounds = 325 inch pounds.. 1 foot pound to 12 inch pounds...my friend who works on marine engines told me this.. also googled it and he was wright.. had to do my sump seal that leaked today....I got a crack case gasket kit ...thanku for your one video on doing that..was scared to do it because of that governor....now I'm not scared to do that job thanks to u.
I need to add a vacuum operated fuel pump to a generator to pull from a auxiliary tank. How would I go about getting the vacuum to operate the fuel pump
Hello from Pennsylvania! You done really good, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us inexperienced dudes out here. I hope I never have my recently installed new Briggs and Stratton V-Twin Engine suck a rod into the crankcase like that one. WOW! First time I seen that.
I run my own shop but always watching to maybe learn something new, it my continuing education. I’ve had an oddly large amount of bent pushrods this spring, one was a Briggs single cylinder where the aluminum pushrod wore so thin on the plastic guide it just collapsed , the others seemed to be just caused from a little rust seizing the valve. Gotta love Arkansas, it’s like living in a swamp most of the year, everything rusts. I got another Briggs single off a jd that again was worn thin and collapsed but the lifter isn’t moving, gonna tear into that one to find out what happened inside
Hi Taryl, my Intek V twin got a little hot but I checked the pushrods on both sides and found nothing wrong. The exhaust was a little loose on one side and the intake was a little loose on the other side that was it. Any other ideas why it won't start now? Thanks so much
taryl could you center punch the aluminum around the valve guide to keep it in place versus a new head? I have this exact issue and was wondering about dimpling the aluminum around the guide.....thanks in advance for any response you can provide...
Taryl does that to a valve seat in this video, don't know why it wouldn't work. I don't think the valve guide would take any more punishment that the seat. th-cam.com/video/GTEVXl0uxHg/w-d-xo.html
I've seen that before a lot of times, most of the time it is the cooling fins that get plugged up but sometimes it's from lugging the engine under load. If it's not ran up to speed it'll get hot just the same
Thank you for the longer video Taryl...I really enjoyed watching it. Also I appreciate your awareness of your British fans too...please keep it coming my good man.
I've been removing flywheels this way since the 70's as well and never had a problem. Sometimes a smack on the side of flywheel opposite side of the magnets works as well, be careful not to hit or break any fan blades.
So where were the old bent pushrods? Did I miss when you found them and got them out? Don't think there's any other way to get them out except cracking the case open... OH, OK, at 46:31!!!!
Great video - I wonder if it's worth scoring a mark on the collar of the valve guides so every time I adjust the valves I can see if they're creeping upwards.
I know this sounds a bit excessive, but I know these engines have an oil pressure port down by the oil filter. I wonder if you ran an oil line from there and split it to go to both valve covers, with some sort of restrictor to reduce the oil pressure. And have a stream of oil run over the valves. In theory it should keep the cylinder head cooler, and lubricate the valves better. I wonder if that would prevent these from dropping valve seats. I've heard this can happen if the cooling fins aren't blocked.
you have great videos and I am learning a lot from you,even at 56.lol Thanks and keep them coming.My 2005 craftsman 18hp has a bent push rod And I did not know how to fix it.My neighborhood small engine repair guy was 2 weeks behind in getting me in.So I bought another LT2000 for 300 bucks and now thinking I can maybe,just maybe fix it myself.
I don't own a mower or mow my own grass but I still watch your videos. To answer your question if I would do it myself... Yes I would. I rebuild automotive engines so I am sure I could get it done.
I have a 24 Hp Intel that has done the same thing. It is also burning oil. Not sure if its worth fixing because I have a 25hp Kholer that is in great shape. Thanks for the video
When I replace the oil seal, I use the old seal, flipped upside down to tap the new seal down. Just gotta be careful to not seat the old seal to the point that you can't grab onto it to pull it back out.
Had the same pushrod issue. Followed along with video and my mower runs wide open. Did I miss something with the governor? I turned it clockwise with the throttle wide open.

For them not being spaceshuttles the tools are as expensive....
Neway valve cutter is almost 600$
For one example..
Taryl.. a quick fix you can do with those is to just pound your guide back down until it's flush.. and stick a mig welder in there and weld around the rim of your guide, (if it's steel, I'm assuming it is). Of course it won't weld to the aluminum, but it would burger up a weld on there enough that it can no longer slide out again.

Just make sure you don't weld it too much and pull it out of round, to where it binds on your valve stem. It just needs a fat spot weld; maybe one on each side for good measure.
Cameraman deserves a huge bonus for the excellent work on covering the detail in your videos. Awesome!

However I have a slight miss fire and there seems to seems to be running at at a slightly lower RPM at full throttle. Fouled plug? Valve issue? Any ideas please?
I own my own mower repair business but I want to work at your shop just because you're hilarious.
Thanks for all the info on the Briggs twin. I watched all of your videos on the subject and you did good. My old Briggs 25 hp bent the pushrod on the right side ( looking from the front ) exhaust valve. Mud had filled in all of the bottom of the head by the exhaust and no air could get through. The valve guide moved and you know the rest.The set screw saved me on this one. There is no way to clean that part of the head without pulling it off. I'll stock up on gaskets and make cleaning that a part of my maintenance from now on.
Thanks for all the videos, A wealth of knowledge, nice to see folks doing a job that they did not learn out of a book, keep them coming
I have fixed many of these heads... By pushing the valve guide back down into place and putting a two spot welds on the valve guide on the valve side and two on the rocker arm side of the valve guide... I have never got a repeat repair back after doing this... Saves having to buy heads... Most of the time the cam gear is also broken... I do both heads regardless if it has slipped or not... Saves time in the long run...
Im glad I found this, I'm trying to get the flywheel off so I can change the starter. thanks for the detailed video.
I'm having problems with one of my B&S V-Twin so I re-visited this vid for tips. While my problem is different, I was curious about knurling the valve guides to hold them in place. Couple hundred years ago, we used to knurl Chevy V-8 valve guides so just wondering if it would work in this instance?
"oh you're gonna ruin it Taryl you should never do that... SHADDAP! I've been doing this for 40 years I never had an engine fail" Best line in the video! lol! Yeah if it were my mower i'd do it myself. i've been doing small engines for 20 years for myself, but the average person out there? no way. Great vid Taryl!
Had same thing happen. Used paracord and packed in cylinder and held valve shut. Removed valve spring keepers and tapped guides back in. Staked the guides and reassembled. Have been mowing 2 acres once a week now for 3 seasons and guides still haven't moved. Staking is worth a try and i had great results with it.
Thanks for making these videos. Got me a used Craftsman with this motor and it's fouling the plugs with black and smoking a bit when you first crank it up. Gonna tear her down and check out the heads. Done me a few 350 Chevys way back in the past. Should be able to do a V-Twin, lol. Nice to see the details up close before I rip mine apart. Did IT work for 30 years and got the same attitude you have, What, You gonna do it? Well, it's a lotta work. Looks easy cause I done seen it all.
Boy that guy plays a good drunk. And you’re hilarious just crazy funny, love the video
Best tutorial I've seen on here for the B&S V-twin. Awesome!
This is one of the most informative of your videos yet!!!! Great work! Thank you Sir Taryl
The Briggs and Stratton V-Twin Intek Engine, Imma scratch this one off my list of "must have" engines.
Saw you great video on missing push rod. Any video that takes me from cylinder head removal to removing engine and opening oil sump? I was hoping I didn't need to figure out how to remove the engine first!
Picked myself up a 2014 Husqvarna YTH24V48 for $100. Bent push rods and was left in the elements of the Wisconsin weather. Cylinder has surface rust and an animal made a home on top of the engine. So the armatures are rusted. Small groves in the cylinder from the heat. I'm thinking about honing out the cylinders and buying new rings. Would you replace both heads if only one side had bent push rods? Should I do it or buy new engine?
The way you pulled that flywheel is exactly the way I pulled them on outboard motors for 30 years, I have broken too many puller bolts off in the flywheel by using stupid time wasting pullers, good mechanics find ways that work, you're right it don't hurt anything.
HI Taryl,.. which side is the #1 cylinder? I believe its the one that's higher on the starter side and is closer to the flywheel.. Is that correct?
Great video very informative I went to start my mower 25hp bright straton it did a hydro lock and I won't turn on only a pop on carburator could it be bended valves thanks
I had the same thing happen to a friend’s intek v-twin. I think the carb gets plugged and makes the engine run lean, which causes the overheating and loose valve guides. I had to open mine up to get the pushrod out of the sump. I tapped the valve guide back down, and staked it in place. So far so good!
220 inch pound = 18 foot pounds..27 foot pounds = 325 inch pounds.. 1 foot pound to 12 inch pounds...my friend who works on marine engines told me this.. also googled it and he was wright.. had to do my sump seal that leaked today....I got a crack case gasket kit ...thanku for your one video on doing that..was scared to do it because of that governor....now I'm not scared to do that job thanks to u.
I need to add a vacuum operated fuel pump to a generator to pull from a auxiliary tank. How would I go about getting the vacuum to operate the fuel pump
Outstanding video! Appreciate all the hard work you guys put into these videos. The skit was funny as hell too!
I REALLY COMMEND ALL THE GREAT WORK YOU PUT INTO.YOUR VIDEOS. YOUR VIDEOS ARE REALLY ENTERTAINING. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR BRILLIANT WORK...
Taryl thanks again, i bought a metal folding chair and replaced the drive belt on my 1996 murray with it on it's side !!!!!
Taryl, I have used brake spring pliers to release the keepers on the valves with success also.
Hello from Pennsylvania! You done really good, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us inexperienced dudes out here. I hope I never have my recently installed new Briggs and Stratton V-Twin Engine suck a rod into the crankcase like that one. WOW! First time I seen that.
I run my own shop but always watching to maybe learn something new, it my continuing education. I’ve had an oddly large amount of bent pushrods this spring, one was a Briggs single cylinder where the aluminum pushrod wore so thin on the plastic guide it just collapsed , the others seemed to be just caused from a little rust seizing the valve. Gotta love Arkansas, it’s like living in a swamp most of the year, everything rusts. I got another Briggs single off a jd that again was worn thin and collapsed but the lifter isn’t moving, gonna tear into that one to find out what happened inside
Hi Taryl, my Intek V twin got a little hot but I checked the pushrods on both sides and found nothing wrong. The exhaust was a little loose on one side and the intake was a little loose on the other side that was it. Any other ideas why it won't start now? Thanks so much
taryl could you center punch the aluminum around the valve guide to keep it in place versus a new head? I have this exact issue and was wondering about dimpling the aluminum around the guide.....thanks in advance for any response you can provide...
I've tried that, it doesn't tighten it enough, it'll hold for a while, but pop out again
thank you!
Taryl does that to a valve seat in this video, don't know why it wouldn't work. I don't think the valve guide would take any more punishment that the seat.

I've seen that before a lot of times, most of the time it is the cooling fins that get plugged up but sometimes it's from lugging the engine under load. If it's not ran up to speed it'll get hot just the same
That was a lot of work, Taryl! Thanks for all the hard work. That was one of the best ones yet! 👍
Thank you for the longer video Taryl...I really enjoyed watching it. Also I appreciate your awareness of your British fans too...please keep it coming my good man.
I've been removing flywheels this way since the 70's as well and never had a problem. Sometimes a smack on the side of flywheel opposite side of the magnets works as well, be careful not to hit or break any fan blades.
I think your videos are great, You don't leave out any details. Hello from Connecticut
Any tips or tricks on fixing home lite xl12 chain saws
So where were the old bent pushrods? Did I miss when you found them and got them out? Don't think there's any other way to get them out except cracking the case open... OH, OK, at 46:31!!!!
"It moved cuz it's a piece of crap (sound of a toilet being flushed!) Good work Taryl!
Taryl, I saw on one of your other videos where you drilled and tapped the valve guide to hold it in place. Will that trick work on B&S engine?
Great video - I wonder if it's worth scoring a mark on the collar of the valve guides so every time I adjust the valves I can see if they're creeping upwards.
I know this sounds a bit excessive, but I know these engines have an oil pressure port down by the oil filter. I wonder if you ran an oil line from there and split it to go to both valve covers, with some sort of restrictor to reduce the oil pressure. And have a stream of oil run over the valves. In theory it should keep the cylinder head cooler, and lubricate the valves better. I wonder if that would prevent these from dropping valve seats. I've heard this can happen if the cooling fins aren't blocked.
you have great videos and I am learning a lot from you,even at 56.lol Thanks and keep them coming.My 2005 craftsman 18hp has a bent push rod And I did not know how to fix it.My neighborhood small engine repair guy was 2 weeks behind in getting me in.So I bought another LT2000 for 300 bucks and now thinking I can maybe,just maybe fix it myself.
I don't own a mower or mow my own grass but I still watch your videos.
To answer your question if I would do it myself... Yes I would. I rebuild automotive engines so I am sure I could get it done.
Are you sure about setting the lash? Everyone else says to adjust the jam nut and then lock it in with the torx. 36:24 Very detailed, thanks.
I learned a trick from my father for lapping valves I chuck it up in a cordless drill and run it back and forth nice and easy Works excellent
I learned a long time ago that it helps to put a dab of grease inside the keepers to hold them in place while you release the tension on the spring.
I like the way he describes how to do it start to finish
Sorry, I forgot to ask. I noticed you didn't put valve stem seals. Are these not required ?
Can you replace the aluminum push rod with another steel one? Thanks.
Yes
I have a 24 Hp Intel that has done the same thing. It is also burning oil. Not sure if its worth fixing because I have a 25hp Kholer that is in great shape. Thanks for the video
This is a funny little video, old Willie and the gang, camera man makes it funny..Nice job..
When I replace the oil seal, I use the old seal, flipped upside down to tap the new seal down. Just gotta be careful to not seat the old seal to the point that you can't grab onto it to pull it back out.
Had the same pushrod issue. Followed along with video and my mower runs wide open. Did I miss something with the governor? I turned it clockwise with the throttle wide open.
