John Deere Z445 with Kawasaki FH 721V burning oil (blue smoke) and oil coming out of exhaust. I might of used a little too much starting fluid to get it running. Any suggestions?

Thank you

If it is anything like the one here on Z925A it is a blown head gasket. Here it is the #1 cylinder which is higher than the #2 cylinder. Initially I was thinking valve stems seals but when I pulled the head the gasket showed blow by.

Check your oil and see if the level is high and the oil feels thin with a fuel odour
