I just took apart a Briggs and Stratton 6.5hp Intek engine, 2 years old. Some how between my brother and me it got low on oil. Saturday I thought it was knocking, buy with ear plugs in and other things running I wasent sure. Well yesterday I checked the oil, hardly any in it,(dont know were it went, hardly any hours on it) so I fill it, my brother starts it and it was smoking like a locomotive. He says you over filled it, But I knew what was wrong with it(lack of oil cooked it). Anyway I took the crankcase cover off tonight, and was shocked to see it has a plastic cam gear and cam lobes. The pto side ball bearing said china on it. This is the second motor I had fail in a year, the last one was a Kohler 27hp at 1700 hrs. Kohler is junk and now Briggs is the same. Next time I need to buy a engine Im gonna take it apart to see how cheap it is inside. J
