    B&S 14HP OHV overhaul questions
    Help Briggsdude,

    I am in the midst of rebulding a Briggs and stratton model 287707, type 0225 14 HP OHV motor. I can't find an engine manual so I have few questions.

    1. Rod torque specs. There are 2 different size bolts 5/16" & maybe 1/4"
    2. Head torque pattern
    3. middle piston ring (have new rings and psiton) does the notch go up (toward head or down)?
    4. any tricks in re-installing the govenor?

    Thanks,

    //dm

    Have you been to Briggs and Stratton website and put your engine model and type in to see the manual and the Illustrated Parts List? You should get a manul and find engine specs on their site.

    The actual overhaul manual will have to be purchased. You can find them on there too. A repair manual. You might try and go to the Maintenance FAQ section and type a few keywords you are looing for. I was able to use that area and found all sorts of info on adjusting and replacing the valves on my 14.5 OHV.
