Bought a Craftsman LT1000 with a 18.5hp Briggs Model 31H777 0202 E1, was running great until I changed the oil and filter. When I started it, it started blowing blue smoke out the exhaust. I used the recommended 10w30 and the oil lever is right on where it should be on the dipstick. What is going? It puffs even mower when I turn the key off and the dies.
If it IS the head gasket, I'm going to attempt it myself. I can get the OEM Briggs gasket set on Amazon for $25 shipped with 2 day Prime shipping.
