what would a gauze pad over the dip stick hole do? or did i miss something
I really cant run the motor too long cause the oil seal is out again so that wouldnt really tell me if there is a problem cause its loosing pressure there.
The flywheel side is always the seal to go out(figures so every time i fix it I have to pull the motor and that motor gets heavy after the 4th or 5th time in a day) as far as I know there is no blow by the air cleaner is clean and oil free and the motor only smokes when its cold at start up.
As far as the oil gear brakeing you will like this story its kinda long but i have to tell it all to fully understand. So I got this motor back in 2008 from a "lawn mower Repair shop"(you will see why I hyphenated that in a minute) they said they repaired a broken rod in it for a guy and he ended up replacing the motor as they were left with it. When I got it it ran fine when I could get it to run and one day when I was running it it decided to puck oil out the exhaust side I shut it down and couldnt figure out why. Well a couple days later I got a briggs to replace it in my pulling tractor I was building. So it sat on the floor and every once in awhile i would start it just to keep it good and I started to notice it would get hot real fast like after a minute of run time it would blow steam out the breather. Fast forward I got a cub and was going to put the motor in that and I had a oil pressure gauge to hook up and i hooked it up to the motor and guess what no oil pressure, so i pulled the motor out of the tractor and pulled the back plate off to check the oil gear and it wouldnt move. so i tore the motor completely down and guess what I found the oil gear in pieces and the OLD ROD from when the "lawn mower repair shop" fixed it but they left pieces of the old rod in it. SO fixed that fixed the one rod that was starting to stick cleaned the crank and put it back together and ever since then I cant keep oil seals in it so maybe I did something wrong. sorry for the story
