No oil getting to rocker arms or top of motor at all. but oil pump is working well. oil filter is new. local dealer said could be head bolt in wrong hole or head gasket fliped over wrong. was rebuilt recently. thanks

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    how do you know the oil pump is working if there's no oil to the rockers? what brand engine is it? model and spec number? who rebuilt it? as for the head bolt, i don't think so. the head gaskets are usually designed to go on only one way, so i don't think it's that either. could be wrong, especially if it's a kawasaki

Flipped over head gasket sounds more like it...hard to say when someone else has been into the engine...head bolt in wrong hole...check torque specs on them....

My generator was mixing water with oil in oil pan and while time I investigate and dismantled the rocker arm covers I found something the water also comes in the rocker arms. so what's the reason?

Oil is pumped around the engine. If there is water in the oil, that too is pumped around the engine.
If the engine is water cooled, I would remove the head, if it is warped, have it skimmed and then refit with a new gasket.
If it is air cooled, condensation is common. Replace the oil and any filter.

Model 331877 briggs fuel pump leaks oil out vent

I just got done repairing the very same engine with the same syptoms that you mentioned. I had considerable oil coming out of the fuel pump breather hole (copper colored mesh). The source of the problem: a blown head gasket. This will cause the piston, in the compression cycle, to pressurize the crankcase through the head gasket leak into the valve lifter chamber and push oil out the vacuum tube (bottom hose) leading to the fuel filter . To fix, you will need to first disassemble the cylinder head from the engine. To do that you first need to disconnect the three hoses to the fuel pump. Remove the cover to the air filter, remove the air filter and the screw in the bottom of the filter housing. Remove the four bolts attaching the plastic flywheel cover and remove the cover., remove the cylinder head (8 bolts)and check the head gasket to confirm it is blown (you will probably see some dark brown or black discoloration of the head gasket between the cylinder and valve lifter chamber. Carefully remove all old head gasket material from the block and head surfaces and clean the head bolts. If either your cylinder head or block surface looks ugly, you may need to get them resurfaced (flatness tolerance is very small ) Buy a valve gasket set (contains the head gasket and other needed parts)
Remove the valve rocker arm cover (4 bolts) from the head. Mark the exhaust and intake lifter rods (they are different) Clean the combustion chamber. If your engine has many hours on it, you will want to remove the valves and check the valve rims and seats for wear or pitting. You may want to hand lap the valves to insure they are seating perfectly.
I coated my head bolts with an anti-sieze valve lube compound. The B&S service manual calls for this. Reassemble head and torque head bolts to 220 in.-lbs. (4 stages) Do very accurately. Compress valve springs, install push rods and set clearances between rocker arm and end of valve stem. Turn flywheel to move piston so that both valves are closed before setting clearances. install a new fuel pump on the plastic flywheel housing. I removed the breather from the top of the engine (two small screws) and checked the reed and oil drain hole, and resealed the breather cover (you will need to pull the flywheel to get to one of the breather screws. I used a gray high-temp rtv liquid gasket compound to reseal the rocker arm cover and breather body. Reassemble all parts and screws and use small torques as listed in Briggs Service manual. I put in a new spark plug, changed the oil and filter, and breather tube, and o-ring at the bottom of my oil filler tube. That should do it
