    Not in the 5 years I've owned it.

    Cracked head?

    Thanks. Last question- One of the sources shows an option between "With holes and without holes" (see photo). What's the difference and does it matter? Mine does not have the holes. I see messicks has two heads listed based on SN, but the current replacement head is the same number as the...

    Cracked head?

    Thanks, I'm glad to hear that from you! It's actually crazy how inexpensive I've seen some of these aftermarket heads. Still not a *cheap* job, but still. Any red flags with this one...

    Cracked head?

    Yeah, had that thought. I have the OEM upper engine gasket kit on the way. Tore into the machine before the gaskets came here. Thank you for the links. What about this source (Friday parts). It's a complete head w/valves and springs. I already have the gaskets one the way so I don't need...

    Cracked head?

    I finally opened up my L2900. Backstory-loss of coolant, some (not much?) White smoke on start up, and constant bubbles pushed into overflow the second the engine starts. My assumption (hopes) were a head gasket. Photos attached. Coolant in cylinder 2. Gasket looks OK (which scares me)...

    I have an L2900 that has a slight fuel leak that I think is coming from one of the delivery valve holders. This model has an assembly plate lock (part 070, attached diagram) to prevent tinkering. I do not want to mess with something I shouldn't but have read conflicting things online. Can...

    L2900- head gasket (?)

    I'm finally getting back to this and will be buying the head gasket kit soon. One last set of questions. I'm leaking fuel on top of the fuel pump. I'm pretty certain its from one of the three plunger pumps out the top. Should I replace 210 (o-ring), 050 (gasket, discontinued) or both from...

    L2900- head gasket (?)

    I noticed my L2900 (1,200 hr) had no coolant in the reservoir so I checked my radiator. I ended up adding about a gallon of coolant. I have not had any overheating issues (it got hot once, but not dangerously so, when the radiator plugged brush hogging 3 years ago). Actually, the temp stays...
