Thanks for the input. Since the old M is running very very well I think I'll just ring it and inspect it really well. If it looks like the head needs more work I'll send it off, but at this time all I want is for it to stop smoking. It runs 60-70lbs of oil pressure with 20w50 oil so the rods are nice and tight and the old M breaks a rated 50hp PTO "overrun" clutch every year or two brush hogging (6ft 3pt mower) by splitting out the cases and once twisting the splined shaft (I think the twisted shaft one was defective, too soft...). So she's making alot of power, she just smokes a little doing it. So I think I'm content with fresh rings, inspecting the head, and when power drops off, oil pressure drops off, etc, I'll have a full overhaul done, top and bottom. And at around 75 - 100 hours a year, that might be a long time... thanks, Mark
