> > Hi All, > My Emerson Brantingham, model "H", 1 1/2hp had developed a blow by thru the intake valve. So yesterday I took it to a engine friends tractor repair shop and we dissassembled, ground, lapped and seated both intake/exhaust valves, also put in a new set of rings. We continued to get blow by thru the intake valve so took apart and relapped with still no change in blow by. Timing is right on. By some trial and error and taking intake valve off and on at least ten times we decided to not tighten up the three bolts holding the intake asy in place.........the
