Message: <blockquote data-quote="rar54" data-source="post: 31029" data-attributes="member: 3365"><p>Thanks for the reply guys but I have gone through everything because when I first got it 2 weeks ago it had fresh oil running down the whole front of the motor so I took the valve cover off and found the front part of the gasket had sucked in and left a gap for oil to pour out and from the build up of oil on the front of the motor this had been going on for a long time. I clean the motor put a new valve cover gasket on, changed oil and filter and re sealed the oil dipstick tube to the block and installed new sparkplugs, the old ones looked like the engine was running too rich, sootie, but not oilly. So I thought I solved the oil use problem--wrong! after 2 hours of use and no fresh oil running down the motor anymore, I was down a quart of oil. Put the quart in today and moved snow for 2 more hours and down again another quart of oil. Oil is no longer running down any part of the engine or in the engine bay. I will do a compression check on it sometime next week to see if it is rings or valve stem seals or both. Do not want to buy a rebuild kit from the case dealer, because they quoted me $485.00 just for a new waterpump or $289 for a waterpump rebuild kit that is only a couple of seals and a bearing or about $9 dollars worth of parts. I refuse to get ripped off if I can help it. So if anybody here on this forum has rebuilt their Case TM20 gas engine I need to fine the source of their parts. Thanks everyone.</p></blockquote><p></p>
