Worth understanding what you are buying. On the factory engine these are not the same part. Briggs fits an aluminum push rod on the intake side and a steel one on the exhaust side. When something jams the valve train, the aluminum intake rod is the part that folds, which is why so many of these engines come apart with one bent rod and three straight ones. These are steel in both positions, so the soft link is gone. That is also the thing to be careful about. A steel rod does not fix the cause. The usual reason an intake rod bends on these engines is a valve guide that has walked out of the head far enough to hold the valve off its seat. Fit steel rods into an engine with a slipped guide and the next thing to give will be the valve, the rocker or the head. Pull the head and check the guides before you put it back together.

Both are real, current Briggs numbers for this engine family and they are separate parts rather than one superseding the other.

Neither is in this kit. A standard piston in a machined cylinder will not seal and cannot be returned once fitted. IDENTIFYING YOUR ENGINE. These engines powered riding mowers, zero turns, lawn tractors and generators across many equipment makes, so the plate on the machine carries the equipment maker's number rather than the engine's. The model, type and code are stamped on the blower housing. BEFORE ASSEMBLY. Measure bore taper and out-of-round. Inspect valve guides and seats while the heads are off, since that is the work you do not want to repeat. Wash cylinders in hot soapy water after honing.
