I had to pull the cam and piston out today and tonight I am going to put back together, could you tell me if there was any play in the shaft after you put on the flywheel? I havent put the oil pan back on yet and I can move the cam up and down about a quarter inch. is that normal or does it have to be real tight? Anything you can tell me man woudl be great. Thanks

@acesdude the oil pan helps hold everything, together tight. without it there is a little play in the cam and stuff

lmfao did u say Honda=shit. you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. You will find no better small engine than a Honda.

[Bigtrucker2007]

all the hondas I had are shit. The old ones are ok. The best small engine is a briggs.

@Bigtrucker2007 briggs= total crap badly designed rubbish

[Bigtrucker2007]

@gilesnmortimer u smokin crack boy. wow u have no clue about motors. I will give u that new briggs are crap. the old ones run forever

[mojopreest]

I think those holes might be oil drainback holes. Do you still have the oil pan for this engine ?

[KrankieV2]

those holes near the crank are probably cast, not machined, hence not smooth and perfect. It looks like they are there to allow oil to flow around the crankshaft bearings.

you wanna sell that crankshaft to me

@gilesnmortimer the new ones are shitty, but the old ones (like 70s 80s) are fucking bulletproof. i had a 1976 briggs 2 horse drained all the oil out filled the crankcase with water and gas and let it run. that thing ran for 2 hours before i gave up and brought it inside. the thing still to this day fires up and runs great.

@quakewarrior1 potATO POTATO THE REAL THING IS HOW WELL YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF AN ENGINE

[NRP1991]

true that man hands down, sad but true!!! honda small engines are amazing

[pivotboy63]

with small engines i would rate honda first and the older briggs engines very close behind in second. honda engines just always seem to start on the first pull all the time. and i havent seen very many blown hondas so ya

[nosmokestroke]

agreed briggs=crap not like they used to be. a honda gc series is a light duty engine if you dont like them get a gx which is a commercial grade engine cause thats all i have and they last a lot longer than a briggs. its also how you treat them if they last or not.
