gwest_ca-(File Mod) 12,015 #4 Posted 12 hours ago We may have the B&S service manual but do not know the model and spec number of your engine. Post those and will link you to it if we have it. This may be it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 31,118 #5 Posted 3 hours ago To my limited knowledge, I believe the 16 & 18 hp blocks are the same. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horseman with no horse 60 #6 Posted 1 hour ago they are not the same, the bore and stroke are different the front of the crank where it goes into the babbit is different and briggs made 3 different size o rings for the sump cover to block for the oil pressure. which now that im thinking about it is anther factor. im gonna get some model numbers to help narrow it down 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
