K321AQS burning oil
Hey I’ve got a 1979 1450 hydro. I had a couple oil leaks I fixed over the winter, had the engine out to do it but now I’ve cut the grass I seem to be burning oil. Seems like it burns 1/2- 3/4 liter(quart) per 2-3hours of cutting. It doesn’t smoke or anything which I think is odd. I thought I’d be able to see it in the exhaust but I can’t. What would be my next go to? Re doing the top end? And if so is it fairly straight forward? I have a decent knowledge which 2 strokes have done a handful of top end 2 strokes but nothing 4 stroke. Is it similar? Are valves easy enough to figure out?
Thanks for the help

Oil consumption is in usually in these areas. (A) The Piston Rings, and/or (B) the Valve Guides.
It is a straight forward process, and as you would expect, it is engine tear down. There is a Kohler Engine Service Manual (K Series) in the Technical Library Section, for download to aid in your repairs.

That's alot of oil for there not to be smoke. I'd suggest looking it over real good to make sure there isn't a leak.

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.
