Was going to order a set of $20 rings and a base gasket for thus engine. It is on a HR214-PX mower that is not self propelled but has the aluminum deck and blade brake. It is in near mint shape and runs absolutly perfect but smokes a little at all times, and very severe on startup.
I went to order rings and noticed a review / comment that says not to waste time with these rings because they will not fit. Honda revised the piston ring lands to solve the oil burning problem.
That was only one review comment and it was not mentioned any other place. Has anyone heard of this? Piston looks like new, but rings are shot. A new piston would put this over budget, as this is a fix and flip not a keeper for me.
