 Yes I agree, I'm glad I took it out of my hand LOL I'm sure to make it worse!
  Was towed in today for diagnostics, everybody get your last minute bet's in as to what it was LOL

It's Amazing what we can accomplish~

With just a little bit of hard work.

And a whole LOT of complaining!!... lol

Any results yet on your diagnostics?  I betting that you valves weren't adjusted properly which resulted in the low, zero compression.

No sorry no word yet, I'm hoping to find out soon, last thing I needed was more engine trouble from this car. Still under warranty, so better now then later I guess
Will post soon as I hear

Well unfortunately it's not good news for the  remanufactured engine I just got, apparently I was doing the compression test correctly cuz there is no compression!! Upon further investigation
As to what thinned out the oil to leak through the breather cap. It didn't have a fuel smell but it did have a burnt oil smell which of course leads to signs of melted rings or whatever, completely drained emotionally financially and spiritually as I head to accomplish the third engine!
I thought for sure with my past experience and mistakes that this was going to be the one to last and get right,
I'm going to my manual seeing if I have the knowledge and capability of taking care of this myself, but this goes a lot deeper than a one cylinder Craftsman lawn tractor lol
Now to battle with the builder for financial support and him denying liability of course not like it's a complete savior anyways cuz I would have to embark on the rebuild process myself anyways there a world away, in Washington State
Thanks to everybody out there that pitched in on support and advice then I'll continue to keep you posted on the discouraging upcoming events
