I know its been done. How much can a (Briggs) flat head be milled before causing problems? And will that produce any noticeable difference in performance? I’m sure .010 is ok, what about .020? More? Stock 5 Hp motor. No real reason for doing this, just cuz l can and want to see what happens.

She said she wanted a lighted wreath for the front door, with the holidays coming up. So l looked around the shop and made her one. Now she doesn’t want it! Wimmen! Just can’t make up their mind! Grandbrat #2 was my assistant and shapened his welding skills on this project!
