Now that the shippers have all come and got a bunch of mini bike and engine stuff out of here so I have some room.....and I am feeling better health wise, I started to work on these Briggs 3hp I started on awhile back. First one I am doing is in the 80212 flavor as seen on Lil indian, some Taco's, etc.. I am assembling from pieces not complete engines so part numbers can be a bit of a challenge this way.
This engine got reconditioned cylinder, exhaust valve guide insert, 3 angle valve seat cut on both seats, new valves, ports smoothed of casting flaws, fitted rings, surfaces all trued, crankshaft drilled and tapped to keep up with the times since clutches are with set screws are dying off, and all the other basic stuff a rebuild gets.
I am trying to figure out what the current (or better) PTO side crank seal for these is though? The sidecovers in the version that are here all have the reducer rings with a Mag side seal but there is also this one piece seal that fits the bill as well. Wondering which one to install. Any thoughts for which style would be preferred, of if you have done one in recent times, what seal did your briggs numbers point you toward?
