Hi Group,
This is my first post. I'm seeking some guidance regarding the feasibility of repairing a Briggs & Stratton 33R877-0009-G1 with a broken connecting rod. I opened the crank case and found a bunch of pieces (picture attached)
The piston and the bore appear to be okay. The bore does have a scratch/dent, but it looks like it's below the lowest piston position (picture attached)
However, the crankshaft appears to be scratched and dented a bit where the connecting rod attaches.
My questions are as follows:
1. Do you think I need to replace the crankshaft or can I file it or smooth it out?
2. Does the bore look sufficiently undamaged that it would hold pressure?
3. What else should I consider before I buy a new connecting rod?
Thanks!
