 Short block for 35GTR
I think I cracked my block this weekend. Lot of oil coming from behind the flywheel on the same side as oil filter. I don't have the money right now to get a new motor, but I'm thinking of getting a short block I know Briggs wants $1200 for one. I saw new 35 Briggs short block on Ebay for $650. Has anyone on here ever bought one of these and do you thinks this is a smart buy. Wish I could just take it to Calen and have him fix it but money is too tight right now and can't be without boat come Sept.

 Re: Short block for 35GTR
It sounds like all you need is a block. I think just a block is about 650. Make sure to clarify.

 Re: Short block for 35GTR
I don't understand why it cracked it's only 7months old. Was running fine and all of a sudden oil everywhere.

 Re: Short block for 35GTR
The short block I found on eBay is a briggs and Stratton 496238 short block model 35 horizontal. Does anyone know if this is the correct model?

 Re: Short block for 35GTR
@deadbird8 you are correct. I only ordered the block. I totally misspoke about getting a short block. My bad. I called the mower shop again regarding your part number and my engine model and type are model 613477- type 0007B year 2013. The part number you listed is for type 0005 and 0008...skips 0007 and list Briggs part # 846178 for my particular engine block. I have no idea why and the shop couldn't answer that question either.

 Re: Short block for 35GTR
Before you go spending a bunch of $$ you need to pull the flywheel, and find the leak. Almost every time I see oil leaks there, it is from the crank seal, not a block crack.

Thread is from 2014, guys. He's moved on, I bet. Lol. The info is appreciated though.
