Adventures in Lawn Mowing

I'd recommend checking the oil occasionally and re-torque the head gasket after a few hours!

You should get another 30 years out of it!

I check oil every time I mow. It usually takes a couple ounces.

I had thought of re-torquing after running...But do you re-torque cold or hot??? I can't find anything on torquing the head except the torque value itself...I have the service manual...

I bought a new head maybe 15 years ago. There was a new style; different fin placement; studs instead of two of the bolts. It gives torque values and sequence but that's about all.
