Sam's way of testing is the most efficient. Cylinder leak down test tools are a huge waste of money.
Do you know what piston ring are, and how they are installed? There is a gap at the end of them when they are in the engine. On new rings, the gap is several thousandths. You think air can get through a gap like that? Yes.... it can. So, yeah, it's going to leak into the crankcase some. That's why I hate leak down tests. You can determine the same thing with a fitting in the spark plug hole and just air. My problem is, I don't hear as good as I used to, and I can't always hear the leak. That's where a smoke machine comes in handy. This is a 2 cylinder engine that's easy to work on, and parts aren't that costly. Take both heads off, true them up, fix the blown seal, take out that second vent that doesn't belong, clean up the filter housing and be happy. Lapping those valves is a waste of time. You lap new valves. Lapping old valves is like sanding wood with 5000 grit sand paper. Yeah, you take off some material, but it's going to take a lot of work to sand the board.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
