sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot my password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Blaze Cole Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Normally when I look for this explanation videos on UA-cam is cause I'm trying to fix something and I'm stressed, tired and full oil engine oil, so I just wanna watch the info I'm looking for but with you Taryl the engine can wait, I'm gonna watch the full sketch and relax down. For many years more since I watched you the firts time. Thanks for that man, you make life easy .
This is by far the best UA-cam channel I have found love playing guitar but you have to be able to fix your tools. This guys is the man!!! Never out of 10 rebuilds has he ever lead me wrong.
Taryl. Thank you. You save me a lot time and grief. I was taking apart a Briggs and Stratton motor and was stumped on how to take off the valves without destroying the block. After watching you do it with a screw driver, I did the same. If I ever have to hire you for a repair you won't need the debt collector.
Taryl, you're hilarious and informative. I am an amateur repair man and just accomplished my first valve job on a 1981 Briggs 3.5hp engine from a snapper. Thanks for the laughs and tips!
Everything I got came from a curb- or a ditch. I don’t throw nothing away. Thanks for the help fixing this crap. Got a 2006 cub cadet & 4.5 B&S . You’re a winner and a comedian Signed just another snake chaser
I have to say, almost flew buy this site figuring it was just another fool looking for laughs... But gotta say, you're pretty damn good... both as a mechanic and the comedy act. Thumbs up bro!
thank you taryl for all your funny videos. i showed this to my buddy we work together at a lawn mower shop. he laughed so much he started to tear up. i did to when i first saw it
Nice! So satisfying how you wire wheeled the carbon off the valves and valve seats.. ground the valve faces nice and purty... basically took that old junked Briggs and made the valve train good as new! I wish I had a valve grinder! I'm very thankful for your videos.. they're great to watch!
i think i just found a new best friend, taryl youre the man! watched about 7 videos, all jam packed with info and time saving know how, and a sprinkle of good ole fun. Keep 'em comin. Wheres my dinner? lol
You mentioned Dean Jones. He was my mother's school mate, my grandpa was his daddy's neighbor and Dean use to drive us kids to the store for ice cream when he was back in Alabama.
I am a little late to be seeing this video but better late then never i suppose!! The intro was geat and so true also!! Maybe its just me but i can watch engine parts getting resurfaced all day. Somthing satisfying about seeing the new surface get cut into the old one that is just cool as heck! I said i could watch all day but hopefully i dont need to explain what that actually means!
Hello friend, great video about a vintage engine valve job. I have a 1986 16HP cast iron on a welder that uses a lot of oil even after I had it rebuilt [bum job] by a shop. Should I suspect bad rings or piston job OR is there seals on those valve stems that could leak a lot of oil. Spark plug stays carboned up a lot but engine runs good,....just burns a lot of oil. Maybe the tappets worn out? Your opinion would be great. Thanks.
Really cool you take the time to lay it out for people !!!! Just discovered you guys a couple weeks ago when I was lookin for a suggestion for a points eliminator module on a Stihl I was working on... Imagine my surprise to discover you guys are only just right down the road... Looking forward to stopping by next time I need Echo parts !
He makes everything seem so easy by showing you exactly how it is done. I know nothing about small engine repair and he makes it seem like anyone can do it.
Hi Taryl I have a Club Cadet 1500 series 1517 model 1998 I watched how you changed a drive belt . I had a hard time getting off the second pulley . Finnally I had success. I checked with a Cadet dealer and he told me not to bend the three tabs that keeps the pulley belt on. I was instructed to not bend the three tabs but take off the 4 bolts that hold the engine in place. , than attach belt and replace clutch drive pulley. Thanks Teradon Rick
I am trying to fix an older Briggs like this. The intake valve was stuck from sitting with oil in guide for years. The intake is free now but the poppet does not come up far enough to open valve. It only barley kisses it. Now what.?Is the popper worn or what. Need help. Thanks.
When lapping the valves should the surface end up perfect/shinny to match seat? And how long to lapp? Mine ground down to two shinny rings or surfaces and not sure if they need to be done more?
hey down there in the comment's you said the older overhead valve engine were better . may be you could do a video showing us ? thank you for all you have
if the springs are real tight the cam lobe will flatten out soon... there is a spring tension for all cams to save the cam lobe from to much presser on it ... now at a very high RPM now that will let the valve float and hit the piston not stay on the cam lobe. but i think this engine will not rev that high to worry about valve floating ... now this is why you have a low tension valve spring..
I have to admit, when I first started watching this video I was like "WTF?" at the beginning. But then I got into the swing of your zaniness and enjoyed the atmosphere you present. What a pleasant surprise! Further, this was just the well presented info I needed to correct a troublesome valve train in a B&S engine. So, hats off to you! Great video!
I have a 1986 Briggs Industrial/Commercial cast iron block 16 horsepower horizontal shaft engine that started using a small amount of oil in 2009 so I sent it to a shop for a total rebuild. After I got it back it was worse than before and the crankcase had lots of metallic dust particles in it. Changed oil several times to flush the block but no results = still using about 2 ounces of oil when using the 225 Lincoln welder. It has never been back to a repair shop since. What should I suspect as the main culprit here? A bad ring job? Bad valve job? Valve guides shot? I don't think a bad head gasket would have much effect. How about valve clearance? Any advice or opinions out there? Parts for this old 86 model are VERY limited and hard to find for sure but it still welds great. There is no smoke on startup or while running that is visible. Air filter is a bit oily but that's just the oiled pre-filter foam I think. I would like to keep this old 225 Lincoln welder if possible because a new one is around $6500. I paid $1900 for this old gal brand new in 86. Go figure, LOL. Thanks for an informative video. My 16hp looks just like the one in this video, only larger.
Bought a Honda gx 390 with a worn intake pushrod. Still had the metal sleeve on the rod. Valves are intact and appear to be working fine. Am I save to assume it overheated and replace the pushrod. Thanks
Hey Taryl! I have a snapper with a 10 hp briggs and im not getting compression. We pulled the head off and looked at the valves, when i shine a light into the exaust port i can see light even after its suppoesd to be closed. Will a valve job fix my compression issue and i love your videos they are verry helpful with my ongoing project
Hey taryl, hypothetical question. The shop I work for don't have a valve grinding machine or have access to one, assuming that the valves are not pitted too bad, do you think that overlapping the valves would work as an option?
Hey Taryl I watch your channel alot.I have a Tecumseh Model LH195SP flathead that has valve guide that is worn and I was wondering if Tecumseh has a bushing and Tool kit to install the bushings like Briggs does.I measured the valve stem and they are .250.
I have a 3.75 Briggs vertical shaft L head. When I took it apart I found the exhaust valve in the guide has a lot of play side to side. The intake valve has virtually no play by comparison. Do they make oversized exhaust valves (like for a car engine)? I’d have to ream the old guide. Do they have replacement valve guides that can be inserted ? Or is this engine just toast?
Shouldn't happen unless someone ground a stem too far, in which case replace valve or cut (not lap, lapping SEATS valves and is not for serious material removal) the seat deeper until desired lash is achieved.
Thanks for that! I couldn't find how to gauge these valves: no one mentions that 'raised divit' the tip of the stem smacks...I was thinking I had zero clearance as I tried to gauge next to the wall itself!
Overall another great Taryl video....but on my Briggs 8HP the exhaust valve had a different keeper than the "keyhole"...actually had to use the compressor to squeeze the spring in to release a little 2 piece device that goes around the base of the valve shaft which gets held in place by the pressure of the spring pushing against itself...had to use a little grease gooped onto the pieces so they would stay in place to get te valve back in...thank you again Taryl....and if you ever need a few guys with bent noses and no necks to help deal with those delinquent accounts let me know :)
Your videos have helped me so much with a rebuild of a k161 motor. Thank you! I just put the valves back in and they seem to operate as I would expect except for a slight jump on the exhaust valve in between the intake and exhaust cycles. Would this be normal on this Kohler motor? Again, thank you!
Hi Taryl, i purchased a new head and valves for my kohler courage 20, i just wanted to know because the head and valves are brand new if i need to lap the valves or not? Cheers.
What is the clearance intake/outtake of a Tecumseh Prisma 37 engine?? My father's lawn mower doens't start so well. I took a look through the spark hole and what I saw was a dirt in the engine. He never changed the oil in the last 22 years. :(
hey Taryl I have an ohv honda and I want to find out if I have problems with the valves or possibly a bent valve,are their ways to check without pulling it all apart?
Help! Many videos about engines running on choke, but I have one running with complete air intake blockage, only a sliver of an air operating is needed to rev it up. Rebuilt the carburetor, replaced the carb, did the valves. Compared the valve guides to another, looked good. It needs more fuel, obviously, but the intake section is very strong and it ain't gettin' it. What's next, I'm stumped.
First of all taryl your videos are so funny you guys kill me😂 I've learned a lot but still have a lot I want to know so thank you. I have a question I hope you still reply to this thread. I have a power washer 212cc predator it's a 2013 it maybe has 20 hrs on it cause it didn't run for over a year probably cause of the ethanol gas mix I was clueless about til recently. But I got it running well. Washed my wife's parking lot at her clinic washed my lawn mower then my neighbor stopped by with his extremely muddy tractor.... So I started washing it and the clay was so thick about an hour into it I switched to the hardest spraying tip I have the pencil sprayer and about a min into it the intake retainer washer (book called it seat,intake valve) that holds the pressure on the spring just under the rocker arm came off and motor died instant of course. So I got ohv cover off and saw it apart and I couldn't really tell anything was wrong other than maybe I never adjusted the valves cause I just didn't understand it was really needed. So I put it back together and it fired up first pull but ten seconds later it came apart again. This time I saw that the valve had flared the slot made to hold it in place so I went to the lawnmower grave yard here locally got another and replaced it. I bought feeler gauges set it to .004 and now I can't get it to start. I've taken it apart put it back to gether at tdc probably 15 times or so. The only clue I can see that it is trying to give is when I'm pulling it, it sounds almost like it's not getting fire or the timing somehow is off like valve opening a hair late or soon cause it starts letting a real light faint smoke out of exhaust after about seven pulls or so. Also I noticed on valve cover top right bolt hole (intake side) is black just that small spot on valve cover only inside valve area is clean as a whistle. I'm at a loss I've got about 18 hrs in it so far working on it and not sure where to go from here. I'm not taking it in ever I'll junk it first. I've gotten screwed for the last time by mechanics of any sort. Please help me if you can thank you for all you videos I appreciate them more than you know!
I've got a toro lawnmower with a tecumseh engine that is smoking. Pretty sure I got to rip the eng apart. But where do you find the information for doing so? Like if I had to redo the valves where do you find info for like the spacing between valve and tappet?
Love the vids! I just picked up a Craftsman (briggs) 5hp woodchipper. Someone put a to long spark plug and it smashed into the intake valve. I cleaned her out and now she spits out the carb, sometimes fire. Any advice? (I'm watching this vid now...)
Ha ha ha ha, those people in your neighborhood must wonder what "goes on" in that mower repair shop,bear costumes,pirates stealing packages,wrestling,guys carrying bats and wearing superheroes suits, ha ha ha, man i love your videos.
Hey Taryl love the pre shows you put on. I have the same Valve grinding machine can you tell me are all the valves the same angle on the back side that you grind off in the video? If not is there a website I can get the angles for different engines?

This is the funniest one so far
The look is amazing 😻
You’ll are nuts like most mechanic
Taryl Thanks for another great video!!! You are THE BEST YOU TUBE CHANNEL OUT HERE! Explaining in detail!!! GREAT JOB!!!
i think i just found a new best friend, taryl youre the man! watched about 7 videos, all jam packed with info and time saving know how, and a sprinkle of good ole fun. Keep 'em comin. Wheres my dinner? lol
Great explanations, I'm beginning to feel more confident about trying to work on my lawnmower.
so far I just been cleaning them... and just put them back in never had a problem so far and yes I do the value clearance 😁😁

John Doe but have you done it?! Dream all you want
You did, taryl is solid country gold!!!
So funny, I hardly realised I was learning so much, keep it going my friend.

Great video does this work for the 20hp B&S opposed twin
Thanks for the great video. I am learning.
You put some entertainment into the video! Thanks!

What if you have excessive valve clearance? New valves, or pushrod? Weld up valve or pushrod?
When lapping the valves should the surface end up perfect/shinny to match seat? And how long to lapp? Mine ground down to two shinny rings or surfaces and not sure if they need to be done more?
hey down there in the comment's you said the older overhead valve engine were better . may be you could do a video showing us ? thank you for all you have
Hilarious, the place was right next-door to the shop. This is a classic.

You are the best to teach
I have a toro lawnmower 6.5 and is no easy to starter once is start sound like losse power start cut the gross and stop you think is a valve job?
HAHAHAHA, WANTED TO DO THAT WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE SOOOOO MANY TIMES. GREAT VIDEO GUYS.
Good video, thanks for the info.
Where can i buy the tool that you use when you put the springs back in on the first engine?
Thank you.
Awsome thank you taryl for the video
A great, comprehensive, and easy to follow video. Is your debt collection service for hire?
Hey Taryl! I have a snapper with a 10 hp briggs and im not getting compression. We pulled the head off and looked at the valves, when i shine a light into the exaust port i can see light even after its suppoesd to be closed. Will a valve job fix my compression issue and i love your videos they are verry helpful with my ongoing project
Great job😊😊😊
I ground a valve with my bench drill press and a dremel tool, worked good.
Hey taryl, hypothetical question. The shop I work for don't have a valve grinding machine or have access to one, assuming that the valves are not pitted too bad, do you think that overlapping the valves would work as an option?
Taryl, cant find the valve adjustment specs for a Briggs engine model # 10T802 -1130B1. Can you help me out?
Welp I'm pretty sure my snowblower motor needs a valve job so I ordered some parts and supplies. I hope it comes out good.
you da man brother,, keep doing what ya do,, the do it yourself world loves ya for it!!!!!
hi taryl as you buy e valve refacer mashine for small engines wath its the best collet size you need to have?
Hey Taryl I watch your channel alot.I have a Tecumseh Model LH195SP flathead that has valve guide that is worn and I was wondering if Tecumseh has a bushing and Tool kit to install the bushings like Briggs does.I measured the valve stem and they are .250.
How do you keep your shirt so clean?
Taryl has super strength though. Those springs are no match.
Nathaniel Kintzel flips a mower on its side like super man ..love his show
Nice! I'm currently taking small engine courses.
I have a 3.75 Briggs vertical shaft L head. When I took it apart I found the exhaust valve in the guide has a lot of play side to side.
The intake valve has virtually no play by comparison.
Do they make oversized exhaust valves (like for a car engine)? I’d have to ream the old guide.
Do they have replacement valve guides that can be inserted ?
Or is this engine just toast?
Scott sure is a sharp dressed man in his suit.... and errr, Nikes. Very helpful and informative video, keeps adding to my knowledge base. A+ thanks.
Thank you great job!!! Learn a lot from you.
Do you use a brass or steel wire brush to clean inside the valve chambers?
Very good video. Just one thing. What about the location of the seat on the face of the valve? How critical is it? Thanks,
Can you install stronger valves springs on a Briggs and scraten?
Shims are used to make them stronger
They go under the spring and come in different thickness
Like.005, .010 etc
This man gives the best damn advice for Briggs I swear
On a L head are the springs the same ? One not stronger than another ?
You guys are funny 😅 good lesson helpful many thanks
Does it matter how you put them back in is their one for exhaust side and intake side are they specific
How would you deal with an excessive lash between the lifters an the valve stems
Shouldn't happen unless someone ground a stem too far, in which case replace valve or cut (not lap, lapping SEATS valves and is not for serious material removal) the seat deeper until desired lash is achieved.
Thanks for that! I couldn't find how to gauge these valves: no one mentions that 'raised divit' the tip of the stem smacks...I was thinking I had zero clearance as I tried to gauge next to the wall itself!
Overall another great Taryl video....but on my Briggs 8HP the exhaust valve had a different keeper than the "keyhole"...actually had to use the compressor to squeeze the spring in to release a little 2 piece device that goes around the base of the valve shaft which gets held in place by the pressure of the spring pushing against itself...had to use a little grease gooped onto the pieces so they would stay in place to get te valve back in...thank you again Taryl....and if you ever need a few guys with bent noses and no necks to help deal with those delinquent accounts let me know :)

Your videos have helped me so much with a rebuild of a k161 motor. Thank you! I just put the valves back in and they seem to operate as I would expect except for a slight jump on the exhaust valve in between the intake and exhaust cycles. Would this be normal on this Kohler motor? Again, thank you!
Yes it’s the compression release operation so the engine can spin over easy to start
im going to do this on a k241

I've got a toro lawnmower with a tecumseh engine that is smoking. Pretty sure I got to rip the eng apart. But where do you find the information for doing so? Like if I had to redo the valves where do you find info for like the spacing between valve and tappet?
what is the tool/wire brush you used to clean out the valve ports called?
Hey Taryl, Awesome job, will using a steel wire wheel on the seat score the seat or the valves? or should I use a brass wheel
The valves and seats are hardened, the steel wire wheel won’t hurt them.
Hi Taryl! How do you fix a breather at a briggs & stratton engine? And how do you make sure if a breaher works or not?
Blow on it with your mouth. Make sure you clean the oil off it first though!
Does TDC have to be on compression stroke?
Love this
Love the vids!
I just picked up a Craftsman (briggs) 5hp woodchipper. Someone put a to long spark plug and it smashed into the intake valve.
I cleaned her out and now she spits out the carb, sometimes fire.
Any advice?
(I'm watching this vid now...)
New valve. That one's bent and not seating. Replace valve tappet underneath as well just to be sure.

Already did it, and that's what it was. $8 and I got a working chipper.
Thanks for the vid!
Ha ha ha ha, those people in your neighborhood must wonder what "goes on" in that mower repair shop,bear costumes,pirates stealing packages,wrestling,guys carrying bats and wearing superheroes suits, ha ha ha, man i love your videos.
Also it will back fire every now and then. That "puffing" sound is actually coming out of the exhaust along with vapor. Maybe it is flooding
So if the valve spins freely it's good?
Hey Taryl love the pre shows you put on. I have the same Valve grinding machine can you tell me are all the valves the same angle on the back side that you grind off in the video? If not is there a website I can get the angles for different engines?
Measure your valve angles with a protractor and check old hot rod forums like HAMB since someone has that info.
can you tell me where you got the wire brush you used to clean combustion area
