Two days ago I had to check to make sure UA-cam hadn’t fallen down on the job and failed to notify me of a new video. Yesterday you uploaded. I’m getting psychic I guess. 😉
@@randomwrenching Absolutely no explanation necessary as far as I’m concerned, Don. You usually do such a great job I’m just happy to see anything you upload. Life - what happens when you make plans. 😉
Great repair. Thank you for sharing. You must be a magician. I would not have even tried to put the sump cover on without pulling the oil pump gear and shaft. You nailed it no sweat.
I heard about using #2 grease on gaskets recently and have found out some people have been doing this forever so now I’m doing that. Anything to avoid difficult gasket removals! The up side so far is the grease helps a little to hold the gasket in place!🔧👍
I have used OEM Briggs Cams and had the new one fail in less than 60 days, I have used aftermarket cams and had them fail, but I have had them last a long time as well. Bottom line, I feel like your taking a chance either way. The cam shafts obviously has a design flaw that needs to be addressed or they would not fail in the first place.
welcome back...hope all is good
It is, and thanks!
welcome back was nice to see a new video
Thanks Bill!
Nice to see another video from you again. Good work. Seems like pretty low hours for such a failure.
Well you made that look easy, it sure started nice too.😊
Not my first rodeo with a bad Briggs cam...lol
@randomwrenching yes I hear ya buddy lol

Thanks 👍
Good seeing you again. A ton of information. Did you ever figure why the battery was dead?
Honestly don't remember on this one, but I know a lack of decompression will work a battery to death in short order...

Not to mention a starter!

Tricks of the trade
@@Rein_Ciarfella Me too. Just used that trick for an opposed twin carburetor gasket. They always tear when you’re trying to clean those.
Hoping everything is OK with you and your business, thank you for the video 😊
All good. Thanks!

Exactly they way i think about it as well.
