Hello,
I am new here was looking for some help. My mower has been burning oil for two summers now and I am planing on fixing the issue. After talking to a small engine repair shop today they thought the engine was to young for the rings to go bad (600 hours). I was planning on replacing the rings and gaskets but after digging into the motor I am not sure if I should do everything. It looks like cylinder #1 is fine after pulling the plugs, I was hoping to get some feed back on what the problem might be.
