1. Remove overhead valve cover.
2. Remove push rods.
3. Remove old spark plug.
4. Remove intake and exhaust manifolds.
5. Remove engine head bolts and head.
Used solvent to clean carbon (baked in coke) from head, valves, piston head and exhaust port. Cleaned gasket surfaces and installed head, push rods, intake and exhaust manifolds. Checked valve clearances and installed valve rocker cover with gasket and sealant. This was a 21 hp B&S Intek engine. This must be done every 2 to 3 grass cutting seasons (book says every 300 hours) to keep these engines from burning oil and for them to run smoothly.

head gasket blew out but decided to do a complete rebuild

Difficulty

Time
More than 2 hours
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Socket set, Wrench Set, Nutdriver, ring expander, cylinder hone, ring compressor, torque wrench
I removed the engine from lawn tractor and disassembled and inspected and cleaned and organized parts. I honed the cylinder lightly because it was still in great condition, but I felt it needed that for the new ring set. The old rings were fine, but the engine is 14 years old so while I had it apart, I felt that was best. Everything went back together as expected and the engine runs really well. the only thing that is noteworthy was torquing the bolts and being very careful putting the sump on, so you don't damage the crank seal.

Tools Used

Replaced piston rings, replaced push rods and guide, cleaned and lapped valves, adjusted valves, and replaced carburetor. I did not put enough torque on the flywheel bolt and sheared off 2 keys before looking for information online and most information said to torque bolt to 120 ft. lbs. and then go a little further. Did this, problem was solved, and engine runs great.
