A V-engine is not a good good engine. Made very cheap.
Hi
I don't agree with that statement at all, & to say that You must now know much about the V-series engines.:ashamed: The only bad side of the V-Engine is
the Chessy Mufler that is Wafer thin and always' seem's to crack and break apart. The reason for that is that they used
Self Tapping screw's to hold it on and they often loosened up from vibration. An F-series muffler
will bolt up to the V-block. The V-block has
more Torque than the F-series engines and I think because it has higher Port's in it's cylinder Jug than the earlier F-series engines. The head is different on a V-block versus the f-series duer to more Torque and slightly Higher RPM they ned mkore cooling fin's to keep cool when running but most of the internal engine parts
are the same between the V-series and F-series engines. I have an F-series commercial mower and my son in law has a V-series silver line single speed Transmission steel deck mower & His has More Noteable Power when cutting grass. We Plan on converting the V-series engine over onto a Gold series deck later on this winter so that he will have the aluminum deck and three speed Transmission coupled to the V-series engine with an F-series muffler on it. I do know that run side by side his V-series engine has a lot more power than my F-series engine... Hammerdown
