Ring Set 40006

This was a basic complete tear down, ring/valve job on a 6.5 Tecumseh flat-head engine. I also cleaned up all the bolts and threads. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. As this was my first complete tear down of a Tecumseh, I got surprised by a couple of ways it differed from a Briggs. For example, the piston arm grips the crank journal in the opposite direction. That is, the bolt heads look to the left, not the right. There was no directional mark or indent on the piston head to tell me which way it goes in. I put it in the wrong way and then had to back up and undo it, but not before I'd already put the oil pan back on! I just took my time and made sure everything was right before I went on to the next step. (Tried to keep the cursing down, too!) Runs fine now. Thanks.

Just like doing an engine overhaul
