Hi All,
This morning I was mowing the lawn when I guess I accumulated too much grass for the mower to handle and it shut off. When I went to start it again it started spewing white smoke and oil was coming out of the exhaust and air filter. I suspect that I blew the head gasket. I was trying to remove it from the front but it seems like I can't get the valve cover off. Also there doesn't appear to be any additional screws behind the valve to get to the gasket. Can anyone help tell me if I have to unmount the entire engine to get to this?
Thanks,
Nick
