LT 1018, maybe has issues??
Hi all, new guy here, and I've got a cub lt1018 with the briggs els500, 31q777. It currently has 128 hours on it, and this past weekend I replaced the head gasket on it. And of course after, I did an oil change. Now, that much I'm good with, but I screwed up the valves, bad. Enough so that the aluminum pushrod was bent. I was able to bend it back and re-do the valves correctly, and it is running at this point.
Here's the deal. First, could I have damaged any other internal part of the motor? I have read similar stories online that had other symptoms that would lead me to believe there are other issues, but as of now it's running great. With one exception. I decided to mow this morning after my repairs were complete last night, I was about 75% done with my mowing when I went up a modest grade and the thing just started smoking like crazy and running horribly. Did so for a few seconds before I killed the motor. Blue smoke. Leveled it out, checked for leaks and other symptoms and found none. Cranked it back up, no smoke and ran just fine. So I feel that I might have overfilled the oil a bit and when I hit that grade it shifted in whatever manner it makes sense in my mind, and burned off through the combustion chamber. Thoughts?

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.
