  Gator burning oil

Obviously a replacement block shouldn't be burning oil like that. Valve seals could cause it, but not to that extent. If it's fouling plugs, oil is getting into the cylinder. And since you are running out of oil, that shoots the gas theory. There's not much left after rings and seals. If your replacement block was new or rebuilt, I think you have a beef with the guy that did it.

  Gator burning oil

The guy probably doesn't have the right equipment to do the job. He probably ran a brake hone thru the cylinders, put the rings on and let it go. The cylinders in those motors wear an oval shaped spot in them. If yours was bad to begin with I'll guarantee he didn't take enough out of it. I've seen motors that wouldn't clean up at +.020, and that is as big a piston as you can get for them. I'm sure your motor needs to be bored .020 if it was smoking to begin with. When I do them I run them for at least 2 hours but they don't smoke at all, so your having 10 hours on yours isn't the problem. A good stock motor will clean up and if you can get a true cylinder with less than .0045 piston to wall clearance you can use the original pistons. Deere says you can go to .006 but I wouldn't put one together with more than .0045. I know oversized piston sets are over 300.00 each with rings and pins. Plus you have gaskets, seals and labor. That's just the reality of it. I don't know what you paid, but if you add it up you would definately be over 1000.00 to do it the way it's supposed to be done. I don't know what to tell you, I think I would show the guy that did it how smokey it is and see what he has to say.
