Cylinder bore
It's been quite a while since I bored out an engine. Does boring out an engine (0.010, 0.020 or 0.030) always require an oversized piston?

Yep, need oversized piston and rings. Is this on the 5hp briggs engine block? I don't know how close you are to SW. Ga., but I have a few good blocks and would be glad to give you one if it would save you the trouble of boring yours out.

Cheese,
The numbers on it are M - 130202, T - 0135-10, C - 73091407. As you can see its an old 1973 model. The cylinder was 2.562". I called Briggs and Stratton in Norcross Georgia and they don't make a short block anymore. If you think you might can help, just drop me an e-mail at jboggan511@charter.net
