I replaced both rocker arms and intake and exhaust push rods. Adjusted the gap. I started the engine, it fired and I let it idle for a few minutes. The engine never sputtered or skip a beat. I mowed for two hours in the 8-inch high grass the riding mower pushed thru.
Thank you for your service, I will remember your company for future service.

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.
