My horizontal shafted Briggs Twin 16 has extreme blow by. Hard to keep oil in it.
Starts easily, winter and even better in summer.
Reasonable power.
Compression just over 100 psia (cold), both sides.
Does it have valve guide seals that I can replace?
Do valve guides wear severely enough to cause this in this model of Briggs?
Do the 'breathers' stick or fail over time?
The breathers is what I am after next.
Anyone have suggestions or ideas what to look for to remedy this? I feel with that level of compression, the rings probably are not bad enough to cause this amount of blow-by.
Thanks, in advance, for you response!
