I've got myself in a pickle.
Previous owner said the valves needed adjusted. I went in to do that. Side #1 out of adjustment slightly. Side #2, pushrods weren't even connected to anything. In disassembling and reassembling the rocker arms, I over torqued the bolt and snapped a small part under the rocker arm in half. This engine is 20 years old and B&S pretty much told me "sorry". I've read a few places that I can put newer heads on this block, perhaps even 18hp heads? Can someone steer me in the right direction?
