Hi have just got a 57/11.
On one of the cylinders there is oil coming out it and burning off in the exhaust. Where should I start to find out what's wrong? Ta.
Ok Ta.
So then I'd take the head off and if the guide has a lot of play in it I would have to get an insert put in it? Or would I be looking at getting another head?
Just wondering how you know it's just one cylinder ? If it's leaking out at the exhaust manifold gasket you may find the bolts are loose. These engines tend to be a bit oily if you're not working them very hard. A good half day on a cultivator would do it good.
Thanks
I can see that it is coming from one head coz it's leaking out from the gasket there.
I have been hoping that it may sort its self out after it has been worked hard as it has been sitting unused for years, mabe only started once in a while. Though it is chucking oil out.
I'm in no rush to start taking it to bits
I'm just seeing what my options are.
My wee 35/45 has just packed up (4 broken teeth in gearbox)so I'm not short of mechanics to be getting on with!
