Briggs and Stratton 8 hp horizontal replacement bolts

[sum_guy55]

I'm looking for replacement bolts for my horizontal shaft 8 hp motor. I need he bolts that hold the cap on to the block as when i got the motor 2 were broken. and one of the threads on was completely stuffed. Is it ok to re tap it to the next size bolt up and use that?

Thanks.

Are you meaning head bolts?

 

[fowler]

if only 2 broke find some that were the same size on your engine and take them to a hardware store

 

[sum_guy55]

You reckon bunnings will stock em?

 

[fowler]

rember to check the right thread

dont be a dumb *** and use normal hardware for head bolts...get the pourpose made things and be done with it...

 

[fowler]

is he missing head bolts or bolts that hold the metal/plastic cover on
if it is the head then u must go to a briggs supplyer and get the propper bits

 

[sum_guy55]

they're head bolts

Use proper head bolts and see if you can install a helicoil in the striped head bolt hole.

Go to your local small engines/lawn mower place and get them to order some in, they wont cost much.

last thing you want is to skimp out on head bolts.
