Thanks RC, but I could have done without the rocker bolt info.
The more I get into these BB Briggs, the more I wish PD went with the Kohler.
Pasbon if you see this, get me the plate and stuff to swap over to the BB Kohler from the test rig in 07.

I'm thinking of swapping out the stock springs and going with a set of doubles. I am wondering how much an aftermarket cam can handle on the lobes along with the rest of the valve train. |

The stock rocker bolts are a weak link and can be stripped out very easily if tightened to much ( I think there is even a drastic misprint on the torque specs for those bolts in the service manual). The double coils from EVT were pretty inexpensive and are easily installed by hand (at least, I did mine in a couple minutes by hand, with a rag stuffed under the chamber and a closed end wrench used to smash the springs down over the stems). Definately a good improvement over the stock springs. |
