Paint came out well. Nice to see that seal installation. I use McMaster-Carr occasionally and always been pleased. Cool you got your washers that quickly! Have a good weekend!!
lol i just cant stand like standing next to a bench i can sit down in a chair but my garage doesnt have that luxury so i just sit on the ground work on it xD
That paint and touch up came out well. That's not too bad a finish, I'm thinking. Funny, but I was thinking too, how nice that'd look with brass accents on it, all to go with the brass timing lever knob. Good stuff!
PS.. I would still fire your plug from the top of the glass, But make a fitting that fastens from the inside that fastens to the proper spark plug threads on the out side!! So Plug/threads\coupling on the other side of the glass!!! Should work awesome!!! Try and make the clearance the same though & I would have made the valve clearance the same as the original head as well so you may have to start over on your head.. But this is an awesome idea!!! Being able to see the combustion!!! Good idea guys!!! Keep up the good work!!!
I stumbled across you on UA-cam several months ago and I have very glad I found you. I am home right now due to a severe back infection I had last year. I have had 5 surgeries and I'm on my way to getting better I'd like to come down and visit you someday at one of your shows. keep up the good work , Mark from Michigan
Even with the spitting paint can, it came out pretty good. I knew that if it crapped out, you would strip it and redo it but thank goodness it worked out.
Sweet project! I considered building something similar a few years ago, but I was nervous about having a basically plastic head. You guys have done an A1 job of it, I look forward to seeing it running. I agree McMaster Carr is a great place to order unique bits for our one of a kind projects! You folks have a safe and Merry Christmas! Miles
Yes, you folks all have a great Christmas Hoiliday. I liked the way you have made the spark plug work on this, lots of brain waves required for these unique projects!
What?? No solid brass flywheel? No commitment to the project! I'm just kidding, this is seriously cool, thanks for doing this and putting it on the internet for us to see!
My only problem with them is that they don't post much information about their products online. Like, they leave out important specifications and such.
I think the bronze main bearings in these little engines are good for approximately 300 years LOL. Why can't they make stuff this simple and reliable anymore? These little cast iron Briggs are so overbuilt for a 1 hp engine it isn't even funny. I have 3 of them and they are addictive once you start tinkering with them. They have that old school valve timing too which makes them fun to listen to when they are running.
how much do you guys know about bolens tractors, i got a 1456 hydrostatic drive with a 14 horsepower motor having trouble on a cold start. any hints for me
Don't they throw worn out lawnmowers after you on your side of the puddle? You get them for free or almost for free over here. If you want it standing up, just aim for a reel mower... they're less common (at least here in Sweden) but worn out their value is still close to 0.
ziiofswe yes absolutely but thats all junk thats why its free lol. that motors a little different there then a "lawnmower motor" besides the glass head. that's more like a compressor motor
That's my point. The junk is a starting point. Parts are cheap for these engines as far as I know. A nice renovation project. If you want to buy a finished piece, that's another story. And isn't part of the fun to actually fix it yourself?
The paint was to do what it was doing. So don't be mad about it and read the directions for the paint cuz not all paints are the same. Anyway I love briggs and stratton great old school engines. I have a 1940 d head 3 horse that needs love no compression but after watching this I might tare into it add some seals and try it.
I agree, I didn't know if it was gonna cost $18, $10, or $8!! Luckily it only cost $4, but I never got an invoice or receipt till after it was delivered!!☺
Ah hah! Tryin to bullshit me eh ? As if you've never seen anything come that fast before ! 😉 I haven't blown a seal for awhile ,,but that was this one time in San Diego .,,,,
i usually use old seal on top of new seal as cushion before i hit it with socket wrench, to minimize the impact damage of the socket wrench againts seal rubber
805ROADKING wow thats devotion lol what's somthing like this one cost? I'd love to build a mini rat rod go kart around it a mini chopper lol definitely sweet lil motor!
see, should've two toned the different parts. little parts looked OK with the cracked pewter, but should've just primed and brassed the block. would've looked even more amazing
Paint came out well. Nice to see that seal installation. I use McMaster-Carr occasionally and always been pleased. Cool you got your washers that quickly! Have a good weekend!!
Thanks Steve!! You have a great weekend also!!☺
Don't worry Buddy I think the paint looks good. Can't wait to see this engine running.
Thanks Buddy!! Part 17 is when we get it running, probably get that up around Christmas!!☺
I wouldn't have ever painted a briggs silver in a million years, but it looks really good!
Thanks Bud!!☺
The paint looks real good after your extra sanding. I see your smart, working on a good table and sitting down to do the fine work.
Thanks Grant!! Yeah I love that table, it's hydraulic so I can pump it up and work comfortably while standing also!!☺
Those people that work on things on the ground drive me crazy.
Grant W. Whitwam I'm guilty of working on the ground... what can I say it just calls to me😂
lol i just cant stand like standing next to a bench i can sit down in a chair but my garage doesnt have that luxury so i just sit on the ground work on it xD
A 5 gallon bucket turned upside down, with a piece of wood works well.
That silver with the brass is going to look so sweet!! Nice job so far roadking, I can't wait to see this beauty complete.
Thanks Bud!!☺
805ROADKING Your welcome Roadking!! :)
That paint and touch up came out well. That's not too bad a finish, I'm thinking.
Funny, but I was thinking too, how nice that'd look with brass accents on it, all to go with the brass timing lever knob.
Good stuff!
Thanks Reg!! Yeah with all the accessories and Decals you won't even notice the paint!!☺
PS.. I would still fire your plug from the top of the glass,
But make a fitting that fastens from the inside that fastens to the proper spark plug threads on the out side!!
So Plug/threads\coupling on the other side of the glass!!!
Should work awesome!!!
Try and make the clearance the same though & I would have made the valve clearance the same as the original head as well so you may have to start over on your head..
But this is an awesome idea!!! Being able to see the combustion!!!
Good idea guys!!!
Keep up the good work!!!
It doesn't have a spark plug!!☺
Can't wait to see this thing running. I like to see when someone takes the time to do things right. It's always worth it.
Thanks alot Floyd!! It'll be running in part 17!! Probably be posted around Christmas!!☺
new seals are never a bad thing King , Thumbs up man !
Nah, especially if ya got them laying around!!☺
For sure man !
Now you're just teasin' us with these short bits!
Thanks for keepin' us updated though. XD
If you are just want to see it run, that won't happen til part 17!!☺
lol apperently im not the only one that wants to see this run bad
Think the paint came out good! Btw use McMaster just about everyday for work. Love it.
Thanks Bud!!☺
I stumbled across you on UA-cam several months ago and I have very glad I found you. I am home right now due to a severe back infection I had last year.

Thanks Bud!! I'm glad ya found us!! I feel for ya, nothing worse than an outta wack back!!☺
Coming along nicely, as always.
Thanks Bud!!☺
It's always exciting to see a new glass engine video waiting for me. Thanks Roadking, it's coming together nicely.
Thanks Aaron!! We try to get something up, even if it is kinda short!!☺
Really interested in this project! Keep us informed :)
Even with the spitting paint can, it came out pretty good. I knew that if it crapped out, you would strip it and redo it but thank goodness it worked out.
Yeah with all the accessories and Decals you won't even notice the paint!!☺
Loving the build guys, can't wait to see the beauty in action.
Thanks Bud!! We get it running in Part 17, probably post that in about a week!!☺
McMaster Carr is bad ass. West Coast order by 3pm and have it the next day!
this has been quite the project, can't wait to see it run. you have gone all out on this thing.
Thanks Bud!!☺
On the last video that paint job looked really good. Let's see what's next!
When you get that to a show with the clear head, bet people won't even notice the colour.
You're absolutely right Mate!! With all the accessories and Decals no one will even notice the paint!!☺
805ROADKING o
Engine block is Looking good road King!
Yeah with all the accessories and Decals you won't even notice the paint!!☺

Thanks Bud!! Merry Christmas!!☺
Yes, you folks all have a great Christmas Hoiliday.
I liked the way you have made the spark plug work on this, lots of brain waves required for these unique projects!
With the silver and brass it will look great.
Thanks Bruce!!☺
Looking good Buddy, thumbs up!!
Thanks Buddy!!☺
Wow night and day difference going with the silver, when video first started I thought you went crazy polishing.
Thanks Bud!! Luckily it touched up pretty well, with all the accessories and Decals you won't even notice the paint!!☺
OMG I want to see it run sooo bad!
What?? No solid brass flywheel? No commitment to the project! I'm just kidding, this is seriously cool, thanks for doing this and putting it on the internet for us to see!
Thanks Bud!! A brass Flywheel would really be cool, we take parts donations!!☺
If only, totally understand it's expensive.
love all the projects you guys do.... makes me want to get back into doing them projects again. keep up the great work
Thanks alot Bud!!☺
Been using McMaster-Carr for decades, never had a complaint.
My only problem with them is that they don't post much information about their products online. Like, they leave out important specifications and such.
looking good buddy
Thanks Bud!!☺
Coming along there nicely bud!!
Thanks Will!!☺

how much do you guys know about bolens tractors, i got a 1456 hydrostatic drive with a 14 horsepower motor having trouble on a cold start. any hints for me
the carb possibly
first time viewer, hooked me with the glass head
Same. Now I want a briggs engine to work on :)
your not kidding. Ive been checking it out to see whats on craigslist lmao
Don't they throw worn out lawnmowers after you on your side of the puddle? You get them for free or almost for free over here.

Nice project, I like it!
Thanks Bud!!☺
Good tips for the beginner or for the old dude.
Thanks George!!☺
at 4:25 am damm bro
Paintwork straightened up nice. Do you ever use clear on your engines to make them shine?
Thanks Bud!! Nah I never put clear on any of them!!☺
1:45 I thought it lol
mc master carr is great,i get my stuff the day after i order it. i used them alot in the auto restoration shop because of all the hardware they carry.
I should use them more, they're only 30 min from the house!!☺
Hey that's pretty neat dude.
Thanks Bud!!☺
you should carv out some of the galss and water cool the engine
Looking good
Thanks Joe!!☺
I put the seals in. after the crank is in, and after the case halves are together. Then seals.
I like your video editing. Do you just film the good parts or do you cut it up on the computer before you upload it?
The paint was to do what it was doing. So don't be mad about it and read the directions for the paint cuz not all paints are the same. Anyway I love briggs and stratton great old school engines. I have a 1940 d head 3 horse that needs love no compression but after watching this I might tare into it add some seals and try it.
BeVille washers👍
How much did that shipping cost? My only real complaint with McMaster-Carr is they don't give shipping quotes online.
I agree, I didn't know if it was gonna cost $18, $10, or $8!! Luckily it only cost $4, but I never got an invoice or receipt till after it was delivered!!☺
When you hit bottom you'll hear it. '' That's what she said.''
use a rubber mallet they work good for getting things in evenly
Ah hah! Tryin to bullshit me eh ?
As if you've never seen anything come that fast before ! 😉
I haven't blown a seal for awhile ,,but that was this one time in San Diego .,,,,
Paint job looks really good now. I buy quite a bit from McMaster-Car they are good to go.
Thanks Bud!!☺
i usually use old seal on top of new seal as cushion before i hit it with socket wrench, to minimize the impact damage of the socket wrench againts seal rubber
McMaster Carr is fuggin spensive... of course then again so is Fastenal, Grainger, etc etc
Woooo Disc Springs
How long before its running?
It runs right now!!☺
I really hope to see this on something cool mini custom chopper lil rat bike what's the plan for this?
It's just a show engine to go along with the other ones we created!!☺
805ROADKING wow thats devotion lol what's somthing like this one cost? I'd love to build a mini rat rod go kart around it a mini chopper lol definitely sweet lil motor!
Paint don't look so bad RK.
Thanks Mate!! With all the accessories and Decals you won't even notice the paint!!☺
see, should've two toned the different parts. little parts looked OK with the cracked pewter, but should've just primed and brassed the block. would've looked even more amazing
it would probably look cool with a gold paint...hmmm...🤔
Blinging that motor out ant you.
Yeah Buddy!! We be Pimpin' it!!☺
You every get a chance acquire a catalog from McMaster-Carr .
That paint is gonna melt off around the cylinder head.
Its best if you chang both seals
It'd be a better idea to use a rubber mallet
I can't be the only one who noticed this dude it chilling in his pajamas
125 comments and you're the first to notice!!☺
really? LOL
Should have used a press.
I've got too much time on my hands. lol
