5hp power mods

[02mx-5]

I want to get the most power out of my 5 hp briggs. What can i do as far as valves, springs, head, carb, header, cam and anything else. What parts specifically can i use? What about porting. Also, my engine is burning oil after its been run for a bit. If i get new rings will that problem be solved? Are there any pistons or rods from other motors that will allow more power? I already ordered a raptor 3 rod. I bypassed the governor and didnt take the internal parts of it out. When i take it out, what is my risk of it blowing up compared to the risk while its jsut bypassed?

Ive actually seen that site before. It answered most but not all of my questions. What is my risk of engine exploding with a bypassed governor vs the risk of explosion with no governor at all? Also, is a raptor 1 rod billet? or is it as crappy as the stock rod i have?

Bypassing the governor, and removing it do the same thing, except when you bypass it you run the risk of the governor weights getting flung off and hurting something.

Rapter 3 rod (for the 5hp briggs) is fine, not as good as billet but better than stock.

Port the intake to about 1" and the exhaust as far as you can so like 1 1/4" then throw on a mikuni 28mm carb and a big header. A high lift cam, High lift lifters, pull governor gear, mill head,aluminum flywheel, hot coil, torque converter,bearings on block,lightened crank,new rings, honeing, and thats about it
