Cameraman deserves a huge bonus for the excellent work on covering the detail in your videos. Awesome!

Plan on tearing into my intek this spring and going thru it and the mower to get ready for the season. Once again, an invaluable and FREE education brought to us by the fellers of the Grass Rats Garage! Thanks Taryl!

Got my dinner with my overheating B&S V-Twin! Bent push rods. Prior owner didnt watch Taryl, leaving the engine cooling fins covered with boogers. They even switched the Choke and Throttle cables. Poor girl was dying and I didnt even know. Thanks TARYL & Co!

This video was such a huge help that I cannot thank you enough! I had never tried to do this job before, but with your video I tackled it like a pro! You made it look easy. Your video quality and attention to detail were phenomenal and your in-depth explanation for each step and the reason were solid throughout. thank you for helping me change a head on my mower.

Love it Taryl when you tell the viewers that it’s a lawnmower and we’re not flying this thing to the moon 🌙... best video yet. Freakin classic...👍👍👍

Thank you Taryl. Thanks to you my husband and I were able to fix our 22 horse poser lawn tactor. This is the best description of setting the valves that I could find on youtube. We also dismantled and cleaned the starter gear. Great videos, and the comedy is also great. So Funny.

been watching your videos for a long time.Ive seen a lot of different people trying to do what you do but baby you are the best. I do small engines here in Napa Calif and you helped me start with your videos many times. I just got my crankshaft straightening jig. A lot of bent cranks lately.Started out in my garage and this thing turned out to be a monster.Bad gas,90 percent of time.I love getting carb spray in my eyeballs and gas soaked clothes.and oh yea dropping something and can't find it.You say here is your dinner I say it eats my lunch.All kidding aside I enjoy doing it and have no problem when they hand me some cabbage.Keep up the great videos and screw the critics.

I've learned a lot about small engine repair and laughed my ass off! These videos are gems! Thank you Taryl and everyone else involved in making these videos. You guys rock!!!

It ain't the space shuttle for crying out loud !!! Love it. Your exactly right. Common sense still prevails in the real world. Thanks for all of your informative videos and fantastic humor.

Taryl, I do understand why you replaced the heads rather than repairing the old ones since it was a customers mower. I had exactly the same scenario with my mower. I pressed the valve guides completely out, chucked them in a lathe and cut a fine groove in them at the head height, I reinserted the guides and penned the head material around the guide into the groove. The fix has lasted for five years of mowing on my acreage. (lots of mowing). I helped a friend of mine do the same to his mower. He lives a far distance from me so my lathe wasn't available. We chucked the guides into a drill press and used a hacksaw to cut the groove. this process has also worked fine without a subsequent failure. PS, I had to crack the case open to retrieve the pushrod also. I love your channel and have learned a lot from you. Plenty of laughs also. Keep up the GREAT videos.

this is the most amazing and entertaining video I've ever watch. I was looking for something different and stayed watching all the way to the end. AMAZING and learned a lot!!!!!

Outstanding video! Appreciate all the hard work you guys put into these videos. The skit was funny as hell too!

THANKS Taryl !! Absolutely Awesome!!! An hour well spent with the master. Very often, I wish I could turn to you for advice on some bizarre problem, and then I remember..."The Best Tool You Have...Is Your Brain!". I truly hope one day I can repay you for your excellent presentations. Mr. Brown - North Central Florida

Mr. Taryl Dactyl, I love the fact you do not use a puller when you remove a flywheel. And I really love the fact you tell folks that probably never removed any to "SHUT UP", when they tell you to use a puller. Keep up the down to earth videos Mr. Dactyl! Informative and easy to follow.

I was really struggling with how tight to make the bolt in the center of the rocker. Thank you so much for covering that.

This is one of the most informative of your videos yet!!!! Great work! Thank you Sir Taryl

I have a 2017 Craftsman that was given to me with only 75 hours on it. It has a 24 hp Briggs twin. Nobody, including shops could figure out why it ran so crappy. Turns out, after watching this video, that if you completely remove the cooling tin instead of leaving the hard to get to screw and bending it, that there was a undetectable mouse nest completely blocking off the bottom cylinder fins! Thanks, Taryl!!

This is awesome. I just got a mower similar to this free because it was smokin and barley running. Did everything myself. Now I have a good riding mower and I’m only in about a hundred bucks. Valve job took a while to get right. Thanks for the video man.

Hi Taryl. I watched all your videos and and I've learned so much from them I got my own equipment running and some of the neighbors saw it so now I've got a lot of the neighbors bringing me their stuff and most of it of course is gummed up carb-i-traitors but I've been able to get their stuff fixed and everything so now I'm getting paid to do it for them and they they keep bringing me their stuff so I thank you for all your videos there on the learning experience and I especially enjoy the skits. Thanks so much!!!!🎚️🇱🇷🇱🇷🙏🦖👍

Love the SOUND effects, especially the toilet flushing, good vid. Got me a flat surface from my nephew, works at a counter top place, granite, a sink cutout, works GREAT . I got me a "Magill a cutter " off Amazon, works great. You're amazingly knowledgeable and funny. Thumbs up to the cameraman on following you. Had the same issue but it was the rocker bolt that had come out a good 1/4 ". Liked to NEVER found it, and that was just by accident while cleaning. LOCTITE. Thanks dude

Had same thing happen. Used paracord and packed in cylinder and held valve shut. Removed valve spring keepers and tapped guides back in. Staked the guides and reassembled. Have been mowing 2 acres once a week now for 3 seasons and guides still haven't moved. Staking is worth a try and i had great results with it.

Love your stuff Taryl. 220 inch-pounds divided by 12 = 18.3 foot-pounds. But this ain't the space shuttle. :)

Best tutorial I've seen on here for the B&S V-twin. Awesome!

I love your commitment to character. I like the video, ive been meaning to tear into one of these now i can follow this video and do it! Thanks

You the man- your dog wont bite the hand that's feed him I know I got one just like him HA -a man can learn a lot watching you and that's a compliment THANKS

Thanks for all the info on the Briggs twin. I watched all of your videos on the subject and you did good. My old Briggs 25 hp bent the pushrod on the right side ( looking from the front ) exhaust valve. Mud had filled in all of the bottom of the head by the exhaust and no air could get through. The valve guide moved and you know the rest.The set screw saved me on this one. There is no way to clean that part of the head without pulling it off. I'll stock up on gaskets and make cleaning that a part of my maintenance from now on.

you have great videos and I am learning a lot from you,even at 56.lol Thanks and keep them coming.My 2005 craftsman 18hp has a bent push rod And I did not know how to fix it.My neighborhood small engine repair guy was 2 weeks behind in getting me in.So I bought another LT2000 for 300 bucks and now thinking I can maybe,just maybe fix it myself.

Boy that guy plays a good drunk. And you’re hilarious just crazy funny, love the video

I dig the more involved repairs. Keep making vids!

I put a gas additive gas mix with marvel Mystery oil, Lucas fuel conditioner in all the fuel used in my property mowing engine. At 525 hrs on the Intek 26 hp engine. So far so good. I hope it has been lubricating all those places to keep it running well. Had to use ST-205 in the oil because of the gaskets and valve seals. Fixed it right up. Taryl, you're the best.👍🙂

Thanks for all the videos, A wealth of knowledge, nice to see folks doing a job that they did not learn out of a book, keep them coming

Hello from Pennsylvania! You done really good, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us inexperienced dudes out here. I hope I never have my recently installed new Briggs and Stratton V-Twin Engine suck a rod into the crankcase like that one. WOW! First time I seen that.

Appreciate the effort and sharing of tips and tricks to help out a doers out there! Love the editorial comments as well it helps me not take failure or miss steps too seriously.

Your videos are the best, I love the sarcasm towards the critics.....best part of the videos.

I had the same thing happen to a friend’s intek v-twin. I think the carb gets plugged and makes the engine run lean, which causes the overheating and loose valve guides. I had to open mine up to get the pushrod out of the sump. I tapped the valve guide back down, and staked it in place. So far so good!

Taryl thanks again, i bought a metal folding chair and replaced the drive belt on my 1996 murray with it on it's side !!!!!

Absolutely love your videos, some very knowledgeable information thank you oh and of course I can't wait to hear it run.

Thank you for the longer video Taryl...I really enjoyed watching it. Also I appreciate your awareness of your British fans too...please keep it coming my good man.

I know why Taryl calls them carb-a-traitors. Was working on a old Wisconsin engine today - got it running and all of a sudden gas comes out of the bowl vent! I was betrayed by my traitorous carb-a-traitor! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Keep up the excellent videos Taryl!

I appreciate the irony of tareyl , I been working for a small engine shop for this past summer, I was a mow crew leader and the chief mechanic for a landscape company in the past so I was familiar with the basics of the equipment we used, but i have learned a lot by trial and error and my research, your videos are spot on... it's very sad mower shops aren't taken more seriously, people bring in a 5000 dollar piece of equipment that has been abused and not maintained, expect quick cheap fix, or a fix for free....and act like we are just dumb lawnmower mechanics, the truth is they don't know the difference between they're ass or a hole in their tire......keep up the good work, and thank you for the tips and experience your sharing . There's YOUR dinner....👍👍👍👍🛠🔧🔩⚙🗜🚜🚜

I have broke flywheels useing a puller. That is why I don't use them anymore.I have been working on mowers for 60 years,good job TAYRL

We love all of your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these. I am cracking up too!! lol

Well done my friend, I've done the same job many times less cracking the engine open to retrieve push rod. I enjoy your videos

Thank You! I learn little tidbits of info every time I watch your video

Well worth the wait!!!! Thanks Taryl and gang!!

That was a lot of work, Taryl! Thanks for all the hard work. That was one of the best ones yet! 👍

As I sed in other adventures of Taryl fixes all, any guy who likes to work on engines should have Taryl as a brother, NOT just 4 his mechanical expertise but 4 being a great guy as well !

Im glad I found this, I'm trying to get the flywheel off so I can change the starter. thanks for the detailed video.

keepsake push rod keep bud.. love every minute of it. still learning at 70.

Just finding out small engine repair is a new passion of mine. Love learning from your videos

Daryl have you ever heard this one? I've seen a old man very oldskool he took a piece of old fuel line and a drill to lap the valves in he put the valve in and put the gas line on the stem end and use a small pipe clamp to hold it in place put a bit in the drill put the gas line on the bit and slowly lap the valves in with a drill . It worked great. Love your vids keep up the good work.

This skit had to be one of the funniest ever. You keep up the great content. We want more comedy. Anyone who wants more funny, hit thumbs up!thanks Tayrl.

I have fixed many of these heads... By pushing the valve guide back down into place and putting a two spot welds on the valve guide on the valve side and two on the rocker arm side of the valve guide... I have never got a repeat repair back after doing this... Saves having to buy heads... Most of the time the cam gear is also broken... I do both heads regardless if it has slipped or not... Saves time in the long run...

Love the longer videos so awesome

Love the sound effects! Another excellent video tutorial!

I made a repair to my own personal Intek as a test using Loctite 620 that is heat rated to 640 degrees, penned the boss surrounding the guide, flattened the peen marks, then tick welded the valve guide top and bottom with tiny welds to interfere with the ability to move and I'm 400 hours into the repair. I would NEVER do this repair on a customers engine, but I wanted to see if it was possible to get any life out of what would be considered a lost cause. Thanks for this video! Cheers! Zip~ Oh, and for the haters that say you're hurting the crank, bearings, flywheel...they don't know what they're talking about.

Because of your videos on this motor I did it rebuilt twice already got a lot of years of service thanks

thanks Taryl for all your great videos. You and Mustie 1 are the BEST guys on KZfaq !!!!!!

i taught chrysler, gm, and toyota engine systems at a community college and say youd make a good instructor. great communications skills

the show must go on more long video taryl awesome!

Professor Taryl, taking us to school, LOVE your videos!!!

Great video! Thanks for the tutorial and keep them coming!

You are a great teacher. Keep up the good work. Thanks

I like the way he describes how to do it start to finish

Hey, you got some Fun Dip? No, but I got some hummus! That is the most hilarious line ever!!!!! Love your channel!

The Briggs and Stratton V-Twin Intek Engine, Imma scratch this one off my list of "must have" engines.

I've been removing flywheels this way since the 70's as well and never had a problem. Sometimes a smack on the side of flywheel opposite side of the magnets works as well, be careful not to hit or break any fan blades.

Excellent video Taryl,very informative.

Great video same problem with mine valve guides also replaced with used head runs great thanks 👍

Great video - I wonder if it's worth scoring a mark on the collar of the valve guides so every time I adjust the valves I can see if they're creeping upwards.

You definitely know your stuff! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

The best part of this video is I get to watch you do this before I have to! How can we prevent bent connecting rods on v-twin Intek motors? P. S. You can machine parts with a pice of glass and sandpaper, glass is always flat.

I think your videos are great, You don't leave out any details. Hello from Connecticut

Taryl, I have used brake spring pliers to release the keepers on the valves with success also.

Yeah baby !!! I just watch your videos and turn it up real loud that way I can learn something and my ole Lady doesn’t bother me !!! Win win situation 😎

Thanks for making these videos. Got me a used Craftsman with this motor and it's fouling the plugs with black and smoking a bit when you first crank it up. Gonna tear her down and check out the heads. Done me a few 350 Chevys way back in the past. Should be able to do a V-Twin, lol. Nice to see the details up close before I rip mine apart. Did IT work for 30 years and got the same attitude you have, What, You gonna do it? Well, it's a lotta work. Looks easy cause I done seen it all.

I've seen that before a lot of times, most of the time it is the cooling fins that get plugged up but sometimes it's from lugging the engine under load. If it's not ran up to speed it'll get hot just the same

That was awesome!!! I've seen a pushrod bent like a fish hook but I ain't never seen a pushrod bent like a "U".

I REALLY COMMEND ALL THE GREAT WORK YOU PUT INTO.YOUR VIDEOS. YOUR VIDEOS ARE REALLY ENTERTAINING. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR BRILLIANT WORK...

Thank you for the excellent videos, instruction , and entertainment !!

Whhhhoooo whoo. There's your dinner! Tarryll s awesome. Makes me laugh after getting out of my shop at the end of the day

Great Video, Laughed All Way Through !!

Fantastic video! Super informative, thank you!

I watch because your entertainment is crack me up funny taryl. I have been running a small engine shop for 2 yrs and it's my passion I've rebuilt several engines and sold close to 50 tractors. Keep up the great vids your the boss

(21:11) did I hear Terrell say $300 for new heads plus $200 labor. I'm taking my next mower repair down to Indiana. Great video. keep up the good work.

I just discovered your channel, I'm definitely subscribed for sure!! You're a hoot and darn smart fella as well, but Willie on the other hand is a different subject for another day 😂.

I've been my own mechanic for over 35 years. I don't usually work on other peoples stuff, but I try to help out when I can. I've done a few car and truck engine replacements for friends. But not much lawn mower engine work, other than breaking them down, to scrap it.

This is a funny little video, old Willie and the gang, camera man makes it funny..Nice job..

Curious design that would allow parts to fall into the lower block necessitating opening the block. As for your work, nothing beats the benefit of experience (for thoughtful learners). Beautifully edited video, and "just right" out-loud description. Most useful and welcome. Significant carbon on the piston top: running rich ? And that is preset at the factory, yes ?

"It moved cuz it's a piece of crap (sound of a toilet being flushed!) Good work Taryl!

Yeah......SHJADDAAP. Taryl knows hows stuffs done around here! Ain't the damn space shuttle got that..

I love your video’s! Extremely informative!!!!!!

The way you pulled that flywheel is exactly the way I pulled them on outboard motors for 30 years, I have broken too many puller bolts off in the flywheel by using stupid time wasting pullers, good mechanics find ways that work, you're right it don't hurt anything.

Great video funny and informative! I'm glad you don't take yourself too seriously, after all its a lawn mower not the space shuttle :)

Thanks to Taryl , This guy has taught me more in 5 minutes than 5 hours of "professional information " videos

40 yrs of fixin small equipment(just like me), I admire the enthusiasm you still have for the stuff

"oh you're gonna ruin it Taryl you should never do that... SHADDAP! I've been doing this for 40 years I never had an engine fail" Best line in the video! lol! Yeah if it were my mower i'd do it myself. i've been doing small engines for 20 years for myself, but the average person out there? no way. Great vid Taryl!

Another great video.Good job guys !!!!

I own my own mower repair business but I want to work at your shop just because you're hilarious.
