Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is it important to adjust crank end play in a Briggs Animal or LO206 engine?

A: Excessive end play creates "slop" in the crankshaft, which leads to vibration, noise, and power loss. By using these shims to tighten tolerances, you ensure truer piston travel and a more efficient transfer of power to the drivetrain.

Q: How do I determine which shim thickness to use?

A: You should measure your current end play using a dial indicator while the crankcase is assembled. Use the shims to bring the clearance within the manufacturer's recommended specifications for your specific engine build.

Q: Are these shims compatible with both the LO206 and the Animal engine?

A: Yes, these shims are designed to work with both the Briggs & Stratton Animal and the LO206 engine platforms to help you achieve a precise bottom-end setup.

Q: Do I need special tools to install these shims?

A: While the shims themselves are simple to install during the assembly of the crankcase, you will need a dial indicator or feeler gauges to accurately measure the end play before and after installation to ensure you have achieved the correct clearance.
