Here ya go joesregalproject , i think you were looking for carnage. This is an older version of the same mower that stopped dead with a loud clang. Figured since i was tearing mower engines apart I'd dig in and take a look. Dropped a valve!- Tomeal

The "I'm Obsessive With Lawn Tractors" Thread
joesregalproject I ordered the parts to put it back together. When the rockers go back on is there anything special to it? Torque spec or lash setting?- Tomeal

Questions about pulling an LS motor
I feel removing the harness just protect it during removal. Would suck to hit it off something and break or tear the harness. Plus you will most likely need to depin some wires out of the harness. In the end that will be up to you. Ive seen some youtubers take the engine side fuse box in...- Tomeal
