I'm havig a problem removing the oil sump on B&S v-twin engine. I have removed the bolts, the governor, push rods, oil pump. Sump is lose and will easily raise about 1/8 inch where it hits ha hard stop ( metal to metal). Seems to be around the shaft. I do not know what is binding. Any thoughts/help will be appreciated. Thanks. I'm new to the site but have lurked for sometime.

It sounds like you did all the normal things.
Is it a blown engine? On those anything is possible.
Also it might help to remove the pto side seal and see if you can see any damage to the crank or lower bearing. You did remove most of the rust on the crank below the seal didn't you?

This is an Intek engine. It is about 4 yrs old low hours and ran fine. It was leaking oil around the sump seal so I thought that mowing season is over so I will replace the sump seal. That's where my problem started. The pto shaft is smooth and clean. I have removed the oil seal and see no restrictions in that area. Looks like I will have to destroy the sump to get it off. There is no visible restrictions around the outside of the sump. I thinking about cutting one end off to see what is preventing removal. Any thoughts?
Thanks mulemeat, I tried tapping the sump back down. It didn't
work, it still stops with a metal to metal round when I pull up.
I'm thinking I have no choice but to use a cutting wheel and cut
the sump off. I hate it cause I'll have a big time getting all
of the fines out of the engine. But it is what it is. This small project has become a big PIA.
