Kohler v twin 18hp

Recommended Posts

Hayter ride on started smoking and burning oil so did a bit of resurrect as it starts and runs great. 

After a watch of good old You tube, a simple examination of the spark plug diagnosed a blown head gasket which apparently these engine are prone for.

Stripped it out this morning and  there it was ,blown from the cylinder to the oil return to sump gallery.

Kits  to be order Monday morning

I’d certainly check the heads for flatness but also re- torque them cold after a few hours of running.

 

 I agree. That's something that gets neglected.
