Hi! I love the 100 series mowers! I recently rebuilt a 185 540 because of the blue smoke after warmup. Everything (rings) were withing tolerances but I replaced the oil rings just in case. I reground the valves, set the lash, new head gasket (old one was fine). Carb is clean, new air filter, mower runs great. After 3 minute warmup massive blue smoke and spitting oil out the muffler. Im stumped!!! Any advice? Thanks!!!!
I also noticed quite a bit of oil in the valve cover gasket when I pulled it to do the valves, maybe 5 tablespoons?
