Briggs 13.5hp OHV Intek smokes & burning oil
Comments (7)Hey thanks Walt! I am hoping it's head gasket versus piston/rings. I will order the head gasket. Unfortunately, I have another issue to fix first. When I was taking off the flywheel to take a look at the oil breather reed valve, I used a backyard method to pulling the flywheel (instead of using a puller). Well I ended up stripping the last 3 threads on the flywheel bolt, which is no problem becauase getting another bolt is cheap. The problem is that I slightly damaged the 1st 3 threads into the crank. Do you have any suggestions as to what to do at this point? (other than buy a new crank $167 from Briggs). I was thinking about possibly using oil and a new bolt to see if it will turn in. I can still see threads in the crank but the 1st three look a little damaged but I can still see their grooves. The bolt, however, was totally destroyed at the last three threads (no grooves). I'm thinking that the bolt is softer and will strip before the threads in the crank to prevent idiots like me from stripping out the threads in crank, when they are too impatient to wait until the next day to buy or borrow a puller!...See Morebriggs and stratton 17hp ohv valve adjustments

Comments (2)Well you don't have a "piston problem". Sounds to me like you may have more than one problem though. Proper valve setting is .003" - .005" for Intake and .005" - .007" both set with engine cold and piston set at 1/4" down past TDC. Would ask you to send your address and then send you detailed instructions but I am leaving for the weekend. Walt Conner...See Moredenisnb
