I'm replacing the 16.5 hp Tecumseh engine in a friends lawn tractor with a new engine. He blew the original 17 hp Tecumseh when the govenor failed and over-reved till it threw a rod. It didn't occur to him to turn the key off while the engine was over-reving........
I have no manual for this engine so I am seeking advice as to what oil to put in this engine to break it in, and how long (# of hrs) to leave it in. I was planning on using an M1 xW30 oil after break in.
Thanks
