Opposed 2 crankshaft engine construction- Briggs & Stratton

Posted by admin

Construction details of my Opposed type engine with 2 pistons and crankshafts based on Briggs & Stratton 3-1/2 hp lawnmower engines model 92502.
This engine required some careful thinking and designing to figure out the simplest method to build it. I went thru about 6 designs on paper before I decided this layout was easiest.
Each cylinder head is 1/4″ aluminum plate, bolted to the block with countersunk head bolts. The 2 heads are then bolted to each other by a ring of bolts that hold the whole assembly together. The intake manifold using just 1 carburator got a bit interesting also. So the engine is now pretty much an overhead valve design, as the valves from one block feed the opposite cylinder, with a small passage connecting the 2 combustion chambers. I messed up in one respect, the chamber volumes are too small, so compression is in the 9 to 10:1 range, which makes starting this monster a REAL chore, especially as it is now 18 cubic inch, or like a 7 hp engine with high compression. It weighs in at about 50 lb.

Part-3: 3hp Briggs and Stratton engine overhaul (for mini dirt bike)

Posted by admin

Part 3 of my Briggs engine overhaul. This time; exhaust removal, flywheel removal, carb dissasembly and clean.

I finally get the flywheel off, thanks to some advice from kiarra00, and then set about taking the exhaust and carb. I used a ‘oil filter remover’ and breaker bar to get the exhaust off as it was rusted on badly. Then I took the carb off and gave it a good clean to get rid of the engine oil which had been spilled into it by the delivery guy.

Next time: Carb assembly, new fuel hose, fuel tank, valve lapping???

Also SUBSCRIBE if you like Engines: tuning, fixing, rebuilding etc. and you can keep up to date with this project too.

BADASS dual straight piped Bolens tractor ( Briggs & Stratton )

Posted by admin

The badass mean rumble of a 2002 Briggs & Stratton 17HP INTEK I/C OHV engine on a 2003 Bolens by MTD. Original motor on the tractor, with DUAL STRAIGHT PIPES coming out the back. It sounds like a Harley! This video does NOOOOOO justice whatsoever on what it really sounds like.

3HP Briggs and Stratton UPDATE & valve removal tutorial

Posted by admin

Took the valves out and i show how to take them out. I also took the side cover off and cleaned out the grease like oil with some petrol on rag. I have to get some valve lapping compound and lap the valves so they seal well.

Briggs & Stratton IC Engine Pt2 - Head Shaving and Cold Start

Posted by admin

Since it is a damaged motor I figured it would be worth experimenting with it, my dad suggested shaving the head down as far as I can on the lathe, and so far it worked!
if I go much lower I will have the valves hitting the head as they open!

City Of Caterpillar - And You’re Wondering How…

Posted by admin

“And You’re Wondering How A Top Floor Could Replace Heaven”

City of Caterpillar - Self-Titled
Label: Level Plane Records
Release Year: 2002

I haven’t seen this song anywhere on the internet and believe it to be the best CoC song and one of the best songs ever.
The lyrics are to the best of my knowledge and theres a part I couldn’t really make out hence no lyrics for it. If you have any comments or corrections feel free to leave a comment please.

Spread the word about this amazing song!!!

and ya I know the editing sucks. I did it quickly on windows movie maker which wasn’t even working properly. The preview wasn’t working so I had no way to see if the images and music were sync’d properly.

Craftsman Briggs & Stratton push mower

Posted by admin

My first (and only) geeky lawn mower video, for people who like such things. It’s just your typical modern (2005-ish) Sears Craftsman 22-inch cut push mower with the very common 6.5 HP Briggs & Stratton motor. Not as good as the mid 1980s model it replaced, but still well built and reliable.

The grass didn’t need cutting, so I mowed my driveway instead. :-)
