I put a new Briggs 16 HP cast iron engine (Model 326437) in our 1971 or 2 Gilson. Did this in 1983, and installed an hour meter at the same time. The engine now has well over 1000 hours and just this summer began burning oil. On taking it apart, the valves and valve seats were still excellent, the bore showed almost no wear, and the crankshaft connecting rod journal looks good and is within the Briggs' manual reject limits. The piston was the main sufferer. It has an eroded top land near the exhaust valve side. I've ordered a new standard size piston, connecting rod, and a set of very pricey chromium plated piston rings. These are no longer sold by Briggs, but I found set from a parts supplier. When the engine was new I added an oil filter and have used Mobil 1 synthetic ever since, 20-50 weight. Also clean the air filter regularly, oil the foam band around the air filter, and change the oil when it looks dirty, which is often much more than the 25 hours recommended by Briggs. I believe that other engine brands would do as well, or better given equal care. My favorite engine is the little Kubota on our ZTR.

A Lack of sufficient airflow can strain your furnace components, such as your blower motor, and cause your furnace to drag. Your blower motor will overheat, which will cause your heat exchanger to crack. A cracked heat exchanger is dangerous because it can allow Carbon Monoxide to be released into your home, which is very dangerous, and this can be costly to fix. A furnace that is overworked, trying to push air through a clogged filter, will have a significantly reduced life span. Did you know that a mere 1/32nd of dirt and dust accumulation on the inside vanes of a blower motor can reduce air flow through your home by up to 30%? A 1/32nd accumulation on a coil or heat exchanger can reduce your home heating and cooling efficiency by up to 16%. Your furnaces and air conditioners are probably the most expensive appliances in your home and if poor indoor air quality is causing them to run inefficiently, you could be costing yourself hundreds of extra dollars in energy bills and break downs.

Well it really shouldn't be used because it adds confusion to an already confused market place as it is. Most larger companies are set up like this in order of knowledge (hopefully): 1.HVAC manager : Holds HVAC license. (larger companies Manager never leaves the office except to go home.) --- In the case of my company it would be me coming to your home. 2.HVAC Technicians: Technical and Trouble shooting ability (hopefully) In Texas HVAC technicians are required to be registered with the state. This isn't a technical ability or knowledge based requirement. Send in your $20 and you can be a Tech too. 3.Installers: Limited to no technical ability at all. Not licensed. Bottom rung. 4.Dispatch: Limited to no technical ability at all. They merely dispatch calls and answer the phones and in some cases call to set appointments. In order to buy equipment, parts etc. You must have an HVAC license in the state of Texas. If you skirt that rule by buying over the internet or a buddy, there is no 'part' warranty or any warranty provided by the manufacturer. But my perception after reading many posts on this forum is that you are the exception. Thanks for that. I know that some topics I come off as brash sometimes. Part of this is from experience of running typical kinds of calls in the field and seeing poor choices made. The HVAC system in your home can cause financial damage to your house hold budget. So realize my brashness is for purpose to warn those who may be reading. Some people only learn by experience and so there's that end of it as well. I thought these guys who don't know how to diagnose a problem were getting paid by the manufacturer during the first year. Nope. This is why a good number of HVAC companies fail every year. A 35% new equipment failure rate and you're a dead company walking. In today's world I think it would be hard to over come a 10% new equipment failure rate. (Within year 1 of installation)
