Yes, burning oil. Didn't mean to make it sound like a leak. It smokes so badly that when backing up, you can hardly breathe through the smoke. Very hard for anyone to work behind it to hook chains or such. The topside is not flooding the guides. I have run it with the valve cover off and watched. Engine speed does not have a lot to do with it. It is a bit worse under load but still is terrible at idle. Compression is ok for me, for a worn out tractor. All 4 are at or near 100 pounds. However, since this problem has worsened, # 1 cyl only goes to about 40 on the first stroke,then up to about 90-95 by the third stroke. All four spark plugs are wet with oil after running. The engine never smoked or used any oil until about a year ago after I loaned it out. I found out that it had run probably 3-4 hrs. without the air cleaner connected. However, it was not a very dusty environment. Anyway, it came home smoking pretty badly and has continued to worsen. I think I would blame all the problem on # 1, except for all the plugs being wet with oil. Still open to any and all thoughts. BTW-- where are the sleeve seals located? I have never been into one these engines, except for the front cover for cam and governor. Thanks, RonW

Is there any way that you can look down into the bore? If the engine ever got hot, oil could bake on to the cylinder walls and shine them up. Something like this could cause your problem. A leak-down check would be best if you have the tester. About anything will pass a compression test after a few strokes. With a leak-down check, you can easily determing if it is the exhaust valve, intake valve or the rings. Listen to the intake at the carb, or listen to the exhaust pipe opening, or listen to the oil fill hole. Where you hear air is the problem. The leak-down tester is pumped up to 80 psi (normally), the cylinder is set to TDC and held there (wrench on you engine pulley nut). When air is let into the cylinder, some will always leak and if the pressure falls too low, it is a sign the something is going bad. A good reading would nominally be close to 80 psi (perfect engine) but anything above about 60 is OK. I think that yours won't hold anywhere close to that. Harbor Freight sells one of these for around $39 on sale.
