I much prefer B&S over Tecumseh because they are built a lot stronger. Having taken apart many of each brand, Tecumseh are more difficult to dismantle and are illogically assembled. Poor design quality, especially with their use of plastics.

Is the snow king engine by Tecumseh as good as the polar force pro engine by Briggs and Stratton?

I personally feel that it is a superior engine. The L-Head design is simple, time-tested, and burns everything well-- old gas, new gas, gas with ethanol, gas that has stabilizer in it, etc. Mine have always started easily and seem to be well thought out in terms of do-it-yourself maintenance. They are louder than Briggs and run a little bumpy, but they are powerful and long-lasting.Briggs seems to make better warm-weather engines. Their upper-line lawnmower and summer equipment engines are decent, but stay away from the cold weather lines.Top two for snowblowers in my opinion-- Honda and Tecumseh. Honda is probably stronger in the smaller sizes, and Tecumseh is a better value and offers better power on the larger sizes.Just one man's experience. Hope this helps.

Can you put rybol 4 cycle 20w50 oil in a Briggs and stratton 550 series?

The Spirit snowblower is a Murray product that came into their possession through the purchase of Noma, and has since passed on to Briggs & Stratton since its acquisition of Murray.

How much compression Briggs and stratton vanguard 35 HP?

B&S does not specify compression readings. Look for 120, give or take 20. More important than actual compression is the difference between the 2 cylinders.
