the easiest way to find tdc is to take a clean rag and insert it in the spark plug hole and turn the engine over slowly until the rag pops out. once it pops out carefully insert a screwdriver into the plug hole and turn the motor by hand to feel if the screwdriver moves up or down. turn it both ways to ensure it is at tdc. it is not the recommended way to do it, but it works as long as you are careful not to scratch the piston head with the screwdriver or introduce dirt via the rag

How do you adjust valves on 6 hp Briggs and stratton engine?
You have to set the piston at Top Dead Center (TDC). I beleive the lash adjustment (valve clearance) is .004 to .006 in. That means thousandths. Once you have set piston at TDC (valve springs will not be compressed but extended on the compression stroke at TDC). You can now set the lash adjustment by loosening the set nut and bolt. You need a feeler gauge to do this. Set lash on both valves then recheck.

How do you adjust valve clearances on Briggs?
To adjust valve clearances on a Briggs & Stratton engine, first ensure the engine is cool and remove the spark plug for safety. Rotate the engine to the top dead center (TDC) of the compression stroke, then check the clearance between the rocker arm and the valve stem using a feeler gauge. Adjust the clearance by loosening the lock nut and turning the adjustment screw until the desired clearance is achieved, then tighten the lock nut securely. Finally, recheck the clearance to ensure it remains within specifications.
When setting timing 16.5 briggs strattion eng 16.5 where do you place cam near tappeds?
To set the timing on a Briggs & Stratton 16.5 engine, align the camshaft so that the timing mark on the cam is positioned near the tappets when the piston is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. Ensure that the intake and exhaust valves are both closed at this point. This alignment allows for proper valve operation and ensures optimal engine performance. Always refer to the specific service manual for your engine model for any additional nuances or specifications.

What is the valve setting for Briggs an stratton 15.5 engine?
Intake valve - .005 - .007" Exhaust Valve - .009 - .011" To measure the 1/4' piston drop down, I do the following: After the spark plug has been removed, I insert a #2 wooden pencil eraser end first into the spark plug opening. I rotate the piston to find TDC and mark the pencil using lip of the plug opening. I then place another reference mark 1/4" away from the first mark, toward the point end. With the pencil placed in the spark plug opening at TDC, I rotate the piston clockwise until the second, point end reference point matches the lip of the plug opening.

How do you Adjust valves Briggs 16 HP Briggs and stratton in a craftsman 1000 series riding mower?
If its a OHV(Over Head Valve) motor, you can, if not, you cant. If it is a OHV engine, you have to use a five thousands feeler gauge, and adjust the nuts on top of the valves to tighten or loosen the clearance between the valve and the rocker arm, also to do this you must make sure that the motor is a TDC on the beginning of the Power stroke. Then slide the feeler gauge in between the rocker arm and the valve until you can barely slide the feeler gauge in between them. then tighten down the lock nut on the adjusting nut and put the valve cover back on.
