Bunch of oil from the PCV into carb

[willys55]

yea, sometimes I wish that home depot or lowes had a parts department for small engines.....at least they have better hours of accessibility than the mower shops around here in jersey.......they never seem to be open when you need them too

A Blown head gasket will let compression into the valve rod valley and go straight into the crank causing pressure there and sometimes out of the carb..........

You're right. I was thinking about a flathead.

Found a good used head gasket and put it on. And that seemed to have solved the problem. All that's left now is the carb rebuild.

C Purvis I did that one time posting on another forum. I jumped in and said something about a valve cover not being on 6.75 HP engine. One guy said I was out of date on my engines and sent a link to the mower. A intek with OHV.

I crawled and ate crow. Well the guy never posted a number or NADA Just Briggs and the HP. He did mention a valve cover so everyone, Besides me thought is was a OHV.

Well in a later post he mentioned the spark plug came off with the valve cover. Lo and behold it was a L Head engine like I thought. My prognosis was spot on.

So yep I did the same thing, but It had a ironic twist to it..
