When replacing an existing engine with a new one, there are numerous factors to consider with your small engine specifications such as shaft extension, mounting base, overall fit, and much more. Ensure you read all the instructions on the necessary catalogs to get the correct engine specifications for replacement parts or tightening to the correct torque values. Thus, you can ensure you’re replacing your engine correctly.
The engine specifications in catalogs are intended to fit a wide range of equipment and may or may not be the precise engine you currently have on your equipment or the replacement engine you intend to purchase.
Comparing an engine in catalogs to one with similar horsepower and engine name will give you a good indication of the Briggs and Stratton engine specifications. In our guide, you can learn more using the Briggs and Stratton engine specs chart for use on their short block small engines.
By the end, using the Briggs and Stratton engine torque specs chart, you’ll be able to have your Briggs & Stratton equipment up and running again. (Read Briggs And Stratton Oil Capacity Chart)
How Do I Find Briggs & Stratton Engine Specifications?
You may need to locate specific parts and specifications for your engine while performing minor engine repair and maintenance.

What Is The Direct Replacement for My Engine?
The Briggs & Stratton replacement engine catalog contains information about an immediate engine replacement and all the engine specifications. (Read Briggs And Stratton Engine Starts But Won’t Stay Running)
Their dimensions, specifications, mounting pattern, and other essential dimensions, numbers, and information are included here.
Note: Only the most often used “multi-purpose” short block engines are included in this catalog content.
Note that new replacement engines do not come with engine mounting hardware.
When replacing an engine in an established application, it’s best to keep the original mounting hardware.
Because the engine mounting holes on Brigs & Stratton small engines are blank, self-tapping mounting bolts are usually required when installing the short block engine on a new installation.
See the Briggs & Stratton engine mounting hardware PDF on the company website or check out the Briggs and Stratton spec chart for mounting bolts and torque values.
Customer Searches for Briggs & Stratton Engine Specifications
Numbers required can be in various locations based on the age of the engine, model number, and type of machine.
You may need to check the metal cover of the pull cord before heading to the Briggs and Stratton website.
Some specifications you can find stamped on the head, with others on the housing. On old models, you could find traces of the Briggs & Stratton specs numbers being worn and no longer visible.
On occasions, some are stamped on the top cover and covered in oil and grease.
Other customers can find the model and type of their Briggs & Stratton engine stamped on the side of the crankcase. However, there are also instances of a sticker with the code and a bar code located on the flywheel cover.
It can be a matter of scanning the barcode to obtain engine parts numbers. From there, you can determine the cylinder head torque specifications right down to the valve clearance for intake and exhaust if needed.
Head bolt torque specs are among the most common, and a few need to know the main bearing torque for things like the Briggs & Stratton Intek 311777
Support with Engine Replacement
Engines are available for purchase online through Parts Nationwide. Still, if you have any questions about which vertical shaft or horizontal shaft replacement engine may be used for your equipment or if you can upgrade your current engine, you’ll need to contact Briggs & Stratton customer care. (Read Gas Cylinder Sizes Chart)
For engine replacement support, the following information is required:
Provide as many engine specifications as possible below so they can help in finding a replacement engine and short block:
- Please give the engine’s entire, STAMPED Engine Model, Type, and Code numbers if replacing a Briggs & Stratton engine.
- Include the engine brand, power rating, and model number if it is not a Briggs & Stratton engine. Tecumseh 10 HP Model HMSK 22-22222d, for example).
Information on the equipment, including the brand name, type, and model numbers (ex. John Deere Model 316 lawn tractor).
How to Find the Model Number of Your Engine
Step 1: Double-check the vertical shaft model number.
Please note that if your Briggs & Stratton engine’s model and type numbers are only 9 characters long, you must add a 0 (zero) to the beginning of the model number.
Step 2: Find out what model you have.
The vertical shaft engine model number is usually a number stamped into the metal on the engine itself.
Some engines come with a “shroud” or cover. These covers are available in a wide range of colors, sizes, and shapes. (Read Capacitor Sizes Chart)
The engine model number can be found in one of five places, depending on your cover:
- Above the rewind starter is a metal tag.
- The label on the gasoline tank’s side
- Near the spark plug, stamped right into the metal cover
- On the cover of the valve
- A stamp is on the left side of the overhead valve (OHV) cover.
- On the cover of the valve
