Upon further investigation I found my oil pump sump screen clogged with gasket and rtv debris. My dealer replaced the oil pan gasket early this summer. I guess he and I will be having a discussion about this.

So removed the oil pan and found the connecting rod on the lower cylinder broke. The connecting rod also came off the crank and scarred the crank. The cam gear broke as well

I have an 2015 226v with a 26 hp briggs with 220 hours and it appears to have a broken rod. I was mowing today and all of the sudden I heard a pop from the engine and it dies. I have pulled the spark plugs and only one of the pistons move when the crank turns. Has anyone had an issue like this...
