It is not the easiest engine to rebuild. Flat head, valve in block so seats have to be done in engine. Valve clearance is established by grinding stem; that may have been changed to an adjustable lifter in yours, but is time consuming.

Good luck trying to find parts, you might have better luck putting a different brand of engine in it.

I have been buying Wisc. Parts from www.northeastmachine.com they can get any part you need. Very simple engine to rebuilt. Good Luck

You will likely be able to pick up a good used one cheaper than rebuilding. I found parts to be more expensive than automotive engine parts. If you need a total rebuild, from crank bearings, to pistons and valve guides, seats etc., it will be very pricey and is not a one day job for a do it yourselfer.

Go to Google search and do a search for "Wisconsin VG4D parts" Another soource for used complete engines should be used agricultural parts or tractor parts salvage companies. You may even find something on EBAY.That engine was used on a lot of agricultural equipment, pumps etc.
