just wondering on the video of putting one back together it shows that there were
caps on the end of the valve stems and warning not to lose them
......but I don't recall mine ever having any ?
now I was wondering if they made a change , cause I noticed that various tabs that
held wires in place on the video were metal and mine are all plastic ?
So mine never had caps ?
Thanks for any clarification

sorry I took so loonngg to reply but I finally got er all back together
and evidently..... it doesn't have caps on the end of the valve stems
and has never had . found out why it was burning oil.....blown head gasket !
rings are in good shape what a relief that it didn't need new rings .
Oh yeah BTW put a new oil seal underneath side was covered with oil from leaking oil seal.
Since the tank has a year old or more of old gas it doesn't seem to run smooth
at lower engine speed . So we'll see what happens after I get to mowing the lawn a couple of times
.....and now we have had a dry spell and won't need to cut the grass for awhile
...hmphf !:rolleyes:
