Man that coating looks rough, I guess you gotta hone it to the size you want or something. Last MS engine I had was used, and the bearings that were in it along with a spare set that came with were just the standard size that the briggs used no coating. Soon as I can get some room I wanna pull that engine out and get into it and see.
Off topic, is that a Horstman/Krizman spark arrestor I spy sitting there???
Those are way cool, I have one in the cabinet collecting dust, someday I'll use it.
