Well today I disassembled my economy to get her ready for restore and found the briggs engine has an aluminum head and sump...boo! That tells me a rebuild, the only confusing thing too me is the sump had the original color underneath their ac paint job but know that engine did not come that way from factory! Pretty sure it's original engine due to the oem paint and a date stamp of 59 on the fly wheel. My question is I have a spare engine in shed from years ago, would you guys split a perfectly running engine with great compression and no smoke and put a cast sump and head back on it considering I have the parts? Or am I best to leave it alone? Thanks all!
