If you are not set up or have the experience in trouble shooting and solving the engine problems then a repower with a used engine might be sensible if the deck is in good condition. As a self described flipper you must come across beat looking mowers with working engines.

If he tore it all down as we see in the pics then he is capable of reaming a valve guide and tossing on a head gasket.

Remember to lap the head and block where the head gasket sits. 220, 400 then 800 grit wet/dry paper on the garage door window. Let the paper do all the work. Spray on some Permatex hi-tack gasket spray on the head gasket. Torque bolts in 3 steps. Should be good. Recheck the torque after a couple mows.
