Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): B & S 18.5 hp, cub cadet z force, head gasket

Question
I own a Cub Cadet Z force 42 Zero Turn with a 18.5 hp B&S. I have 80 hrs on the mower. Oil is blowing out the dip stick tube and the fuel pump. Motor does not smoke. Blown head gasket or broke ring?

Answer
Hello Jeff:

If this is a OHV Engine, then Check the Head Gasket. The OHV Engines can Blow the Head Gasket Between the Cylinder and the Push Tubes and Cause the Problem you Described. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of this Engine at this Site Addy, http://www.smallenginepartswarehouse.com/parts.asp and Select the Shop Online Parts Look Up. Then Select the Model Tab. Then Select the OEM and Enter the Model Numbers. Then Double Click on the Model in the Results Area. Now you can Select the Section of the Engine you Wish to View. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck
