Briggs & Stratton vertical shaft L-head

[ Save This Page ] [ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Lawn Tractors / Garden Tractors Discussion Forum ] [ FAQ ]

I have a 20-hp BS vertical shaft L-head engine which blew. The engine had only 3-years of service.

Crankshaft shows friction-caking from the connecting rod to the upper piston. The engine has always had adequate, clean oil and shows absolutely no other signs of being without oil -- no wear, etc.

Has anyone heard of any oil distribution or connecting rod problems with these B&S engines. Any service bulletins ?

Any suggestions for contacts with B&S or MTD ?

Appreciate it.

Richard
