flat head 0 #1 Posted August 27, 2019 i have a engine with a broken rod does not appear to have any piston or cylinder wall damage ,how difficult is this to repair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stepney 2,350 #2 Posted August 27, 2019 If the crank is still OK and there's no other damage, a standard rebuild should have you going again. While it's apart it wouldn't hurt to do the other rod, check the bores, valves, etc.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bean701 35 #3 Posted August 29, 2019 Check the valves. These motors are...well...junk imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bds1984 1,466 #4 Posted August 29, 2019 Those engines are far from junk. A large number of them have been installed on cheap mowers that are maintained by cheap owners which gave them a bad reputation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
