ok, so I did some internet hopping yesterday, What is a home remedy way of checking for flatness? other than just setting on a flat surface and checking for wobble, I couldn't find anything except sanding the head down?

Thanks so much never thought of that.

Hi, Good morning, I did not check it for flatness going to look up some you tubes to see how that should be done, I believe I torqued them to 250in/lbs which I believe is about 18ft/lbs. Not sure about the 3 step torque though so I'll attempt to find that information as well, I'm not sure I had...

Thanks so much StarTech, it's good to have some conformation, those are the values I used, I went with 4 and 6 on the valves, I got it back together run's a whole lot better has a slight pop to it but overall, I think I did a fairly good job on my first time tinkering this far on a tractor. I...

Thanks, just picked up a valve cover gasket today so was going to check valve lash adjustment so I'll take a look, is a head gasket a big job on this engine?

Just picked up a used Craftsman t1000 2007 15.5 hp Briggs and Stratton it sounded like it had a miss so I pulled the plug lots of oil in the cylinder but seems to have good compression. looking for ideas of where to start in figuring out where and why the oil is in the cylinder like that. Oh the...
