Just found this site . A lot of good info here, My question is on my lawn mower there is oil coming from the fuel pump. After surfing around on here i think the head gasket is blown . I checked the hose that goes into the crank case and blew out oil so from what i have read that confirms a B H Gasket correct . Know how hard is it to change . I am not that good of a mechanic oil changes fuel pump replacement that kind of mechanic simple stuff. Will i have to readjust the vales ?

Adjusting an over head valve train is something I recommend you have a mechanic do, unless you have a lot of confidence in you ability. If done incorrectly you could end up with a very expensive repair bill. This is one of the few things I never advise anyone to do unless they have prior experience or supervision. Sorry.

Yes most likely a head gasket. You will need to readjust the valve clearance when reassembling.
I am sure if you attempt the job and get stuck, there is more than enough support on these forums to help you If your not sure, leave it to the experts
As Rivets said, if done incorrectly can end up very expensive

Thanks for the advice . That's one thing i don't fell comfortable doing adjusting the value clearance. I'll find a mechanic and have it done. Don't need to destroy a motor trying to save some cash. Thanks again :smile:

Make sure you let us know how it comes out. We always like to know if our advice is right on or garbage. It's always hard to give advise without the problem in front of you.
