Just wondering...

Is this considered a dirty engine and could be the cause of the head failure? I replaced the PTO oil seal about two months ago and now the flywheel side failed and I am fairly certain the engine overheated. It wasn't leaking on the last UV test.

Oh I got to replace the head after I do a major cleaning.

What are they running it on to get that dirty in such a short time? Methinks that might be a sign of deeper problems.

ZTR.

When went to pull the oil seal after cleaning it nearly fell out. Outside diameter was holding the seal just the inner lip.
