REETKID22 14 #1 Posted April 10, 2023 I have a 18 horse power horizontal shaft briggs vanguard with a broken connecting rod and damaged piston. Could I use a 16 horse vertical shaft vanguard piston and rod in the blown up engine? I would also like to use the heads will that be possible too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would also like to use the heads will that be possible too? I'm guessing that these are Vanguard engines? You may be able to use the heads but I'm not positive on that. As for the pistons and rods, NO. 16hp pistons would be too small for an 18hp. The stroke is different on the engines as well so the rods will not work either. 16hp Bore - 68mm Stroke - 66mm 18hp Bore - 71.88mm Stroke - 70.1mm 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
