Is there a hole in the side of a Brigg and Stratton engine?
Is there a hole in the side of a Brigg and Stratton engine?
The hole was in the side wall, the conrod had created a few additional cracks as it flew through the crankcase side wall, but in general the engine looked repairable. Luckily when the conrod went, the various small pieces of broken conrod didn’t destroy any of the valve stems, oil slinger, etc. The main damage was the side wall.
Where are the thrust sides on a reverse rotation engine?
In a reverse-rotation engine, the thrust sides are opposite: the major thrust side will now be at the exhaust side of the left bank and the intake side of the right bank.
What happens if you pull the valve cover off an engine?
The scenario unfolds something like this: You’ve just pulled the valve cover off the engine. You’re holding something, maybe the valve cover nuts, in your hand.

How are the rods installed in a reverse rotation engine?
On a reverse-rotation engine (where the crank rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front of the engine), rods are installed similar to a clockwise rotation engine, where the larger chamfer side of the big end faces the fillet.
Which is the major thrust side of the engine?
As viewed facing the front of the engine, if the crankshaft is rotating clockwise, the major thrust face is on the left side of the cylinder (the exhaust sides of the right/ passenger cylinders; and the intake sides of the left (driver) side cylinders. The minor thrust side experiences force on the compression stroke.
