A leaking crankcase shaft seal can sometimes be fixed by adding a couple of ounces of AT-205 ReSeal, or similar product from Amazon, to your oil. It worked on my leaking power steering pump shaft on my 2000 Ford Expedition. I only used about 1/3 of the bottle. It is worth a try on the crankshaft seal, since it is a lot of work to remove that engine. It makes synthetic rubber swell a tiny bit, which is often enough to stop small leaks around rotating shafts. Never put it in brake systems.
@lmsmallenginerepair4471 hey sir, where is that video or how would I find it? I searched on TH-cam l&m small engine repair emgine removal' no luck. Thankyou, great video
I did this to my engine and tried I started it and it revved to the moon! I tried to adjust the governor and I still can’t get it to idle correctly. Any idea what I could do? I saw that
If you're the same mark from that place? You sound like him and look like that mark person I met there when I was about 10.,or 11 possibly 12 bye that time to. Maybe A second grader by then.,or sixth grader one of two.
Well done...removed engine yesterday, will be finishing today. Thanks so much!
Glad it helped

Excellent presentation. Now if I could only get the nerve to remove the engine from my Ferris.
You can do it!
Awesome job mark I still remember you guys from down in Florida. At saint Augustine, Florida settler's area at the settler's heritage Day's harbour.
Figure out how to maximize the EGR system and reduce the crankcase pressure as a long term fix on the gasket blowouts
Nice step by step guide. Thank you. Could not find anything on removal of the engine, connections, etc. Any suggestions?
i have videos of engine removal

Just the video I was looking for... thanks!
Glad I could help!
Hi, so what caused the gasket to blow out in the first place.
the gasket didnot seal. or the bolts go loose
I'd like you to steam clean that bad boy before you start.
Nvrmnd. I heard your reasoning for not cleaning it first. Makes sense.
This the same process for the 24 and 25 HP ones I assume? 2008 Exmark Quest with a 24Hp Briggs 44000 series engine.
How come when I flipped it over I had oil come out all over the place
So as to not lose oil out of the dip stick opening, should I tip the engine over the opposite side of the stick , or front to rear?
the best way is drain the oil. i did not drain oil, it was new oil.
I did this to my engine and tried I started it and it revved to the moon! I tried to adjust the governor and I still can’t get it to idle correctly. Any idea what I could do? I saw that
was the governor hocked up right

Man I put my engine upside down and oil came out any where it could lol
Start by draining the oil next time 😃
Same thing happened to me do you why it leaked and his didn’t??
@@AndrewMuehlberger we could have flipped it the wrong direction I let mine drain all the oil it took a while but I'm not in a hurry
EASY? 😂
yes, thanks for watching
