Looking for a little help identifying an engine.
I bought a mower used on Craigslist, and naturally it ran for 3-4 minutes or so before it started spewing white smoke.
I removed the air filter and found it soaking in oil.
This obviously was a concern for me and I'm a techie by trade--not a mechanic. I decided to strip the engine since i figured rebuilding a small engine couldn't be that expensive (maybe I'm wrong lol). That's when I also found that the cylinder had a big pool of oil as well.
Anyway, after everything was disassembled I realized that there was very little at all in the way of markings to identify this engine so that I can buy replacement parts.
If I post pictures I'm hoping that someone can help me figure out what engine model I should be looking up parts for.
Secondarily, does it look like I should even bother replacing the rings and gaskets? Or is the cylinder scored too much?
