never mind got it-- head bolts 220 inch pounds --valves ( in .004 ) (exhaust .006 ) if your B & S engine is smoking alot you got a blown head gasket. how to fix on u-tube

Both Briggs and Kohlers with front valve covers can cause a lot of smoke if they leak..oil drips directly onto muffler area...I've seen 2 fires caused by gasket failure..not to mention the oil film is a huge dust collector

Be careful about the "how to fix" on you tube. Not always right.
Looked up how to replace the serpentine belt on a 2013 chevy cruze. They said you have to jack up the motor and take the three bolts out on the motor mount to get the belt off. Not so! They also said to do this work from the top. Wrong also!
After placing it on ramps, I took the plastic cover off from underneath. Then took a 3/8 ratchet with 13mm socket, turned the idler pulley, and the belt came right off. The belt I ordered from Amazon was the wrong belt too, so I had to go to town and buy the right one.

Thank you mgwin. The very reason I do not use you tube. Not even decent entertainment.
