| I'm no expert on oppy's, but I'd imagine the camshafts in them are steel unlike modern plastic small engine cams. The sound you hear could just be valve train clatter.

| Most of my flat head Briggs's are 'clattery'. It sounds a little like a rod knock but less pronounced. Your engine could just be worn out internally. | |

| Yes, my opposed I put together for my GTR mini tractor has a knocking type noise and I even plastigauged the rods when I was putting it together. Redlinemotorsports also had a knocking in his opposed on the MTD, took the cover off and wiggled the rods without issue. I think it must be valve noise in these. Unless it gets louder or is extremely heavy/loud sounding I wouldn't worry about it. | |

| Thanks for the help I took the heads off of it and was devastated it always smoked a little when you rev well I did a oil change and it went to knocking and smoking so bad I thought I was gonna die of inhaling so much smoke but anyway I took the heads off and both the head gaskets were blown the valve guides are wore the cylinders were scared and the piston has tons of slop in it I found all this hard to believe with it only having 150 hours on it so I'm just gonna take it off and put a Kohler magnum on it for now | |
