Xtl1050 smoking
My neighbor asked me to work on his xtl1050 with a 22hp Kawasaki twin. His grandson and a buddy had worked on it and said it needed a valve guide. I removed the valve covers and started it to determine which valve guide was leaking. The number 2 cylinder shot oil out at a high volume but it was not through the guide but a hole under the tappet and push rod. The hole seems to be there intentionally.
So my question is what would cause there to be pressure that would expel the oil out in a large volume enough to overcome the drain. 38D0E692-EA93-4215-A0DD-18E08A3DDC64.jpg the hole is below the tappet appearing at the right in this picture. |

Maybe they should take it to a mechanic.....
You took off more than the valve covers. |

Now I ain't never seen a cow a suckky ingin'
but me thinks it is an over yer head valve design, as I see no valves in da block. iffin dat so, me thinks it is a pressure feed earl passage sews things up in the top like rockin' arms don't squeek when workin' real fast. |

More info
103EF915-0679-446A-810B-8CC708ACEC95.jpg here is a photo before I removed the head. The oil was shooting out of this passage by the push rod as I mentioned. It is a pressurized system. Again the question is why is there enough pressure to push the oil out of this passage in a volume more than the drain can a accommodate ?

It's not more than the drain can handle. The "passage" you keep referring to IS the drain. With the pushrods out, the lifters will squirt oil. This is basic engine knowledge. It's not meant to be ran, or cranked with the push rods out and the valve cover off. Of coarse it shoots oil everywhere. How do you think it stays lubricated while it's running? Only other possibility is it has too much oil in it, but surely you would have checked that....
Like I said, sounds like your neighbor needs to find a shop to take it to. |

Quote:
Normally the design of an engine is the lubrication is metered or restricted and the gravity return is usually larger that the supply of lube oil. Not having the engine in my possession, or having worked on it I have no way to access the problem or know what a well meaning individual has done or even what the original problem might of been other than you say it needed a valve guide. Just some things off the top of my head on an unfamiliar to me engine. Oh, Jon is very qualified I'm positive, but we get a lot of "one and done" "new members" here that never to even say thanks for the help or report back their findings so all can learn. Good luck! |

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.
