[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 126243, member: 82"] I'd start by replacing the oil and run the machine and check your coolant level. If they get hot, they do crack heads, and generally coolant goes into cylinders, and not the crank case. Head gaskets can go bad, and being composite, they can fail if not re-tensioned or over heated and it is possible it can get coolant into where the push rods go. I actually swapped out an engine and still used a pressed metal sump (i don't remember why i didn't use the cast iron one, it's been YEARS), i just made new front engine mounts that went up the side of the motor and not bolting into cast iron sump. I used the original engine mount, just welded two 2" wide metal plates to mount to the side engine mounts and to the original bracket with the rubber mounts. It worked till the day i sold the machine without issues. [/QUOTE]
