I agree

I’ll swear up and down you build a non hemi 212cc with CHEAP INFINITE aftermarket support. I don’t care to build one…

This was a stock Briggs 5hp engine I pulled out of a shed that was falling in.. I pulled it all apart stripped the paint off it and did my best to polish it. Installed the aftermarket billet and re-assembled.

Skip paint removal/polish to save a LOAD of time. Disassemble hit EVERYTHING with soapy water and a pressure washer and make it all clean and bare bones presentable then add want you want.

My vote if you’re going to spend ANY MONEY is one rod and one flywheel. Your governor is deleted and make a cheap as possible header. Parts are not cheap for the Briggs they are cheap for the 212

I think building 212 type engines is real fun and the parts availability is incredible... But the flatheads are something else. I love modding them out.
