I'd take off the bottom to see the rod/crank.
BuickandDeere; Thanks for the extensive list of options! Also good to know that the LX255 is worth investing the time and $$$ in. What engine supplier did you pull the data and prices from? Of the choice you mention do you see one as requiring the least modification or are all going to be pretty much the same?
If all things are pretty much equal would you go to the larger HP or does that just lead to other problems.
Thanks
RandyT: Great advice; much appreciated. Would you anticipate that there are new mufflers that I could purchase that would work (attach to the side yet exhaust is in the same place on the bottom) or better off taking it to a welding shop modify the existing muffler to work with side exhaust port? I like the idea of having the added HP. What about going to a twin? Are they more reliable or twice the number of things to go wrong?
