Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Push rods are mixed up!, briggs stratton engine, customer support hotline


Question
Hello Fred,
 I am getting ready to reassemble my 17.5 HP Briggs & Stratton motor, and somehow got the push rods mixed up.  I'm not sure which one is the intake and which one is the exhaust.  My engine model number is 313707.  I know that the intake push-rod number is 692003 and that the exhaust push-rod number is 692011, but I'm not sure which is which?  One is steel with a red line painted on it, and the other one appears to be aluminum.  Do you know by any chance which one is the intake and which one is the exhaust?  Any help that you can give me would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you in advance for your advise!
Joe
