Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): 8HP Vertical shaft Bore Specs. 190707 5830, vertical shaft, aluminum cylinder
QuestionI need to know the Bore Specs for a 8HP 190707 5830-01 motor. I am currently rebuilding and don't know what justifies going up a size on the rings.
Thanks.....Clay
AnswerWhat justifies it is cost. The rule of thumb is if the repair is more than 1/2 replace. In this case it would be a new short block vs maching charges and the new parts. You have to decide. The cylinder will have to be bored and if it is an aluminum cylinder I dought the cost would justify. If there is a steel sleeve in it there may be hope.
