Yikes! Someone just gave me this engine. Missing valve cover and gasket. He said it needs new bearings too. I have always enjoyed your work but never thought i would be doing it. Oh am i glad you have videos !

I have the same engine, which I buy new. The valve are leaking when I turn the engine by hand (I can ear little "pchhhh" in the muffler). However it run well. But the compression is not as good as the old FS40. Is it the same on yours ?
