I tore the model11 4 horse briggs apart to figure out why it wouldn't rotate. It turns out the crankcase had a quart or 2 of ice in it, so when it melted, it rotated OK. Surprisingly the engine wasn't corroded, just the cylinder is scored a bit. These 4 horse model 110... engines seem to be a bit rare, so I usually buy them when I find them. They are basically a bored and stroked 3.5 horse engine, some parts will interchange, such as the crankcase cover, the flywheel, magneto and carburator. Pretty much all the rest is unique to these engines, such as the crank, rod, piston, camshaft etc.
