Okay, I went back in and cleaned off the head and the piston to the best of my abilities at the time. The piston cleaned up pretty well and I could not find any cracks. I also cleaned the head and again couldn't find anything out of the normal. I also looked over the cylinder wall and it looks in great condition. You can still see the lines from the initial factory honing on the cylinder wall. I have taken apart many briggs with worse condition cylinder walls that are still in great running condition. I also took a look at the breather valve cover on the crankcase and it looks pretty good. I have attached more pictures of each of the above mentioned points.
Tomorrow I am going to go rent a compression tester from the local auto parts store. Does anyone know what value I should be getting on this mower? If the compression checks out, any ideas?
Thanks everyone!
