OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Honda Engines Help with disassembly Honda 186cc engine.

I helped a friend swap over an engine for his Honda mower and he left me with his old engine. He said it just stopped and white smoke came out from everywhere. He hadn't put oil in it. I thought I might have a look at what went wrong and maybe have a go at a repair. However, I don't usually do internal repairs on lawnmower engines so I would like a little help. I have taken out the 6 bolts from the engine oil pan but was wondering if there was anything else that needs to be taken off to separate the engine. Is it just held together now by the sealant?

I don't know the model of the engine except that it is stamped as "HONDA 186cc". The engine I gave him was stamped in the same way but I think it was 157cc.

Anyway, if someone could give me a few hints on the disassembly that would be really helpful. For instance do I need to remove the flywheel/blower?
