B&D is right on the money!
Just like a post from lower down - I was going to reply but thought what the hell, if that is the way to do a repair.....I would only get someone who doesn't have a clue, or thinks they know it all, on my back.
I see it all the time on here. A guy has a problem and he gets every example of what might be wrong, but not necessarily with the symptoms of the patient, 'cos he hasn't thought about the symptoms.
If you go to the doctor and say 'I am unwell', he will find out the symptoms before advising medication. No different here, excepting most responders are not doctors, just guessers.
Quote from post below: "Rebuilt engine, It had a rod bearing that turned. I had to replace the crankshaft,Now I cannot get the engine to oil,what i dont know is wheather or not the oil pump failure was the cause of the the rod bearing turn"
If you go to the expense of replacing the crank and just say 'the oil pump looks good (on the outside?) and not actually check it out properly, you should not bleat when later you replace the crank again. A better route would be to change out the pump as a matter of course. The same pricipal applies in this thread.
B&D might be a bit direct, but I am afraid that I am too. If you are a supplier and just give the information requested, you are as bad as the bloke asking. A better reply might be 'Have you got all the rest of the torque specs?' and then explain why they are needed, and then suggest they buy your shop manual....
Same result in the end. But this is not a shop. The information is free and worth either as much as it cost to post, or perhaps someone's life or at least saves a big hole in their pocket.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
