I am not too sure about those newer styled Briggs engines, but I used to race go carts with the older 5hp Briggs engines and they had a "dipper" tang attached to the bottom of the connecting rod cap that dipped and splashed the oil around on every down stroke. In the class that I ran in, we ran with the governor removed (approximately 6000 rpm vs 3600) and we were running alcohol instead of gasoline. The "dipper" when subjected to the higher rpm, sometimes would fatigue and snap off which would mean no more lubrication so the rod would eventually come unglued and blast a hole in the case. If these newer engines have an oil pump in stead of the oil dipper/slinger, then disregard my comments.
