My problem child has been sitting most of the summer. Been using the 2165 since she runs so well after the rebuild. I've decided that I'm probably just gonna buy a brand new engine for the 1864 but I want to take one last swing at it because it has to be something simple. For those that cant remember, its blowing oil into the breather housing. So much oil that it overwhelms the carb and chokes it out. This is after a ton of work was done to the tractor. Head gaskets, coils, fuel pump, etc. The tractor wasn't run for more than a few hours after this work was performed. Is it possible that it blew a head gasket already? It never got hot as the engine was cleaned up when it was removed. The heads were sanded flat on a glass surface plate and everything torqued per manufacturer recommendations. I guess what I'm asking is, is there anything else other than a head gasket that could possibly be making this thing blow oil that I'm not considering? None of that breather/filter assembly on top of the engine was replaced but based on the amount of oil that comes out of here, it seems to all be working. LOL. Any thoughts? Ideas?
