I have a 17HP FH500V Kawasaki on my 54 inch Bobcat mower. Lately it is spewing oil after about 30 minutes of use. I took off the rocker cover to the leaking head, and a small shaving of metal, and a circle shaped piece of metal were in the rocker cover,ouch! My local mower repairman said it could be part of the head and part of the valve guide. If so, do I have to buy a new head, or can this head be fixed? The repairman gave me the attitude that he could not be bothered. He even laughed a little at my problem.
Thanks for any help. The mower still runs good, other than the oil leaking!
