Our oldest son had Honda HR215SXA Masters Series that I purchased new in summer 1990 for seven years. Started blowing white smoke this spring so youngest son brought it home & used Honda Shop Manual to diagnose. Failed compression test, complete tear down, cleaned, inspected, honed cylinder bore, lapped valves, ordered new Honda OEM parts & reassembled, adjusted valves, Pennzoil 10w-30 oil & fresh high octane 93 gas with fuel treatment. Rechecked compression 85psi & good to go. GXV140 has been one good mower over the last 29 years.
