briggs and stratten 8 hp intek plus

I have a 2011 Craftsman riding mower lt 1000. It has the intek 18 hp motor briggs and stratten 31H777-0202E1. The motor threw the rod almost through the block. Can this engine be rebuilt, new block maybe, or do I need to replace the motor. If I do. what briggs and stratten engine would be a easy replacement as far as the pulleys,wiring to the rest of the mower and fitting under the hood? Thanks for any help

Yes, you can get what's called a "bare block." And also a short-block. And also a complete replacement engine. I've attached photos of that information.

I assume your date code is higher than 08xxx as you state it's a 2011 model. But you must check this aspect if you order the block, you'll notice the cylinder shield varies upon the date code (DOM) - you never know how long a unit sat before being sold. If it's higher, you can re-use the old shield.

I URGE YOU TO HAVE A PRO look at it, as the camshaft may be cracked, and other damage we're familiar with may have occurred. When a catastrophic failure such as that occurs, rebuilding can be a gamble if things aren't inspected thoroughly for consequential damage.

You can contact a local dealer for help.
