Foreword
Before attempting a twin cylinder engine overhaul, ensure your shop is equipped with proper tools and mechanics familiar with Briggs & Stratton design. To make inspection simple, only sizes at which parts should be rejected are shown, eliminating the need for wear calculations. Always identify and keep valves, springs, and tappets with their respective cylinders during removal to prevent interchanging.
