We have 2 V twins, one is a Kohler, one is a Kawasaki and the valves adjust the same way, but with different settings However, the Kohler has no valve cover gaskets so I cut a set from gasket material and used my trusty Kubota 3 bond sealant on the gaskets I cut. You should adjust the valves every 200 hours at least. I tend to run my intakes a bit tight. It's the intake valve that actuates the compression release. If it's a Kohler, check the starter motor too. They have a bad habit of getting loose and binding up.

None of them last forever and not changing the oil in a timely fashion really shortens their lifespan. I change mine at least once a year and a new filter too. If you can get 1500 hours on one, consider yourself lucky.

I use Rotella 15-40 in mine and keep the air filter clean too. Every year I pull the shroud off and blow the grass out from under it. Keeps them running cool and lasting longer.

Just as an update. The camshaft blew apart inside and was what flew out the back of the engine.

Got a new engine installed and so far so good.

Think I'd have went to HF and purchased a (Lifan) Predator and called it good.

Unfortunately when I was looking for a replacement engine, HF sold out of the vertical shaft engine for riding mowers in 2020 or 2021, can't remember, and it hasn't been back in stock that I could find.

I didn't know that. One would think it would cause a cough back through carb possibly starting a fire. But then I've always been a B&S fan and a Dapper Dan Man.

Actually, today the bolt patterns are all ISO so they all interchange. Just like tractor seats. the bases are all ISO and they all interchange. I've had excellent service and no issues with any pf the Pred's I've purchased. Most all of them are made by Lifan.

I didn't either until I started watching Taryl on You Tube. He dressses a little wacky and has some strange humor but he knows his chit.

Interesting. My local store has them.

The 22hp horizontal engine is in stock for $949, but the 22hp vertical doesn't show in stock for me.

I ended up buying a Poulan branded engine from ebay to replace the Briggs on my JD Z225.

Sound's like op has already made a deal to have the engine replaced but if we are continueing this for others faced with replacing an engine,I believe what i said in post #12 is worth repeating.
Around my area there are lots of late model lawn tractors for sale because they don't run and shops are so expensive that people buy new. You have to be quick on the trigger for Z-turns but regular tractors are cheap.
It's amazing how many give up on a tractor simply because one of the often discussed *@!%#&^ safty devices prevent engine starting.
Shops are so busy this time of year they quote outrageous fees just for troubleshooting so customers walk and buy a new tractor with warranty and I don't blame them. This would be more at home over in the De-clutter thread but I have a complete spare tractor, 1 engine,2 trannys plus several parts from past salvage tractors. I stick with B&S so that I don't let the collection get out of hand in size trying to cover other makes. From the expense side in buying tractors,I break even selling starters,tires,batteries and a few other parts. I wish a young ambisous lad would come along to learn and take the stuff off my hands. 98f+ and high humidity are more than I can take for long.

Wish that were true of the 2003 JD X485 seat. Just bought one off Amazon that said was specific for the X485 and not even close to the seat frame bolt pattern. Returned it.
