Briggs Intek 20HP Using Oil

May be lower compreesion on one cylinder due to valve problem. Check the valve guides to see if they have moved. If the exhaust valve guide has moved towards the piston it may be holding the valve slightly open. This will also lower the height of the guide on the rocker side allowing some oil to run down it and blow out the exhaust and not producing noticable smoke. gregjo1948

I lightly skimmed that whole turd, no where did he say that he replaced the head gasket/s, which is very likely the problem...
