My 8N has served me well the past 8 years, mowing for an hour or two per week. Yesterday, I noticed mayonnaise in my filler cap and I'm losing coolant. Additionally, there's water spitting out at the rear exhaust manifold where it meets the block. I also have white smoke out the exhaust. I'm thinking either I've got a blown head gasket or cracked head that's letting coolant into the cylinder, and it's probably traveling through the valves, putting coolant both into the oil and into the exhaust. I'm planning to pull the head and at least put a new Fel Pro head gasket on. I'd like to have the head magna fluxed too, but I'm guessing I could probably buy a new head for the cost of magna flux and machine a flat surface. Anything else I should check?
