Help needed, I tore into the 800
Well.... Managed to get off work at 1pm today so I decided to tear into the K181 on my recently acquired Model 800. Everything went very smoothly, this seems to be a fairly easy engine to work on, and I believe I even found the cause of the low compression. In my opinion it looks like the head gasket was leaking. What do ya'll folks think? You see how it looks like exhaust gas has been blowing by the gasket around the exhaust valve? (Don't go away yet, it gets better)
  Now on to the next issue I found. The intake valve is making no movement what so ever. I pulled the carb and valve cover and confirmed the tappet is also not moving. I did use a screwdriver to raise the valves and they look to be seating well, looks like there is no burnt valve. Guess this leaves me at the camshaft? Do I need to pull the engine to get to the camshaft? Since this engine probably has 1500+ hours, should I consider going through the whole engine? Seems that I can pick up a complete rebuild kit for less than $100. The kits I have found are on Ebay, anyone have any suggestions of a better place to look? I looked through the sponsor links, at the top of the page, but I did not see any complete kits.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
