thanks fellas.
squizzy so you recon after it was run with no oil for who knows how long, you all seen the damage. new crankshaft 250 odd new conrod 130 odd plus whatever else. do you recon these motors are that good that to rebuild will leave you with a superior motor to the new briggs for 450?
I dont recon he will give me the old one, i cant get the one back that i lent him to do the job while he uummed and aahhed. HAHA. no he is a really nice fella who knows little about motors. and is learning.
