do i nee to put a filter on that?

Filter not necessary.
Breather has one way valve that blows out but does not suck back. If it does, then it needs to be replaced.

 

[sayre315]

how does one take off the valve springs and lifters on a 2hp briggs?

also where would i get new gaskets at if i needed them

 

[oscaryu1]

Valve springs? You don't even really need a valve spring compressor. I took them off with a single pair of pliers. Putting them back is a different story...

 

[sayre315]

ok i think i just got my self in a big problem

i took off the cam without marking it in any way

please help ASAP

 

[Russ2251]

Pre-marked at factory. Line up dots. Bolt it up.

[Russ2251]

Do self a favor, get a valve spring compressor. Saves time and frustration.

I started younger and made many mistakes. Then I started reading. No mistakes (much fewer anyway) since then.

Just FYI Oscar, you shouldn't use an impact on a flywheel. You'll crack it and cause to explode even easier.

Anybody that doesn't use a torque wrench will sooner or later pay for one anyway.

 

[sayre315]

its cheaper to go russ's way
now, i can take off the starter clutch without even having the clynder head on

Yep they give ya one for free after picking the cast iron from your back(assuming you live).

Amen! I recently began using the one I got about a year and a half ago. It actually makes things easier because there's no guesswork when torquing the bolts/nuts about whether they're tight enough or not if you're sticking to specs.
