Taking an old engine apart.. Intake valves have a seal/ plate that the spring sets on.. Both exhast springs were setting on the aluminum housing.. No steel plate / washer below the spring... Is that normal ? ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

No close ups of 18 HP on You Tube... but i did see a 6.5 HP that does NOT have the backup plate.. Guess i am not use to seeing that.. Have done very few small motors and its been 15 years since the last one... ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Always leave flathead valves for last. That way after doing the entire engine you'll feel obligated to finish the damn job. |
