Anyone that would suggest running them in the dirt has never taken apart a utility engine used on a cement mixer, tiller, etc. apart. The grit going in with the intake acts just like a sand blaster, literally hitting one side of the port, valve and cylinder and etching it deeply. Putting this in the oil is also counter productive, there are many parts you do not want abraded.

Loose LO206 engines work well but new out of the box show the best.

We have mounted 4 strokes on every chassis out there, the OTK racer included, 2005 model. Remove the strut, bolt one on, if you want to use it for 2 stroke guess what you have a bolt on strut instead of a welded on strut, the engine will never know. As far as 3/4 in overhang we have ran this same engine 4 years going into our 5th, it overhangs the mount 3/4″ plus, Briggs gave information not a warning. These engines are mounted on cadet chassis here at our club probably a dozen or so, it can be done.

Thank You, as expected a lot of huffing and puffing over nothing. I fixed your link.

It may simply be the third bearing is not installed, which is common. The term cut out may be misused.
