As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Briggs & Stratton engines are primarily manufactured in the United States. The company has production facilities in various locations, including Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, and Poplar Bluff, Missouri. However, it's essential to note that the status and locations of manufacturing may change, so it's advisable to check the latest information from the company or reliable sources for the most current details on Briggs & Stratton engine production.
Originally from when Briggs & Stratton started business in 1919, the engine's were built in Milwaukee Wisconsin to 1985 and well into the 1990's. Recently great production is very little from were Briggs & Stratton was originally started. These day's there is great activity of Briggs & Stratton parts from China/Japan and Briggs & Stratton engine blocks being casted in Mexico.

Today your best bet is Kohler (still U.S. produced), Kawasaki or Honda.

Head Bolts should be torqued at 185 inch pounds
