is this a big problem?

[dogboy]

i checked out and fired up my new 1962 B&S 4hp today--its on a simplicity sno-away blower- theres a tin shroud over the head and carb, held on by 2 of the head bolts, i noticed a small amount of oil on the bolts, they may have not been tight enough, is this normal or is this a problem, the whole machine was covered with grease and oil when i got it.rather fix it now than do any damage later

Certainly isn't normal. Did you have them off? Might find out the torque specs, I'd say pull them all, and retorque in proper sequence. MPH

Cylinder head torque is roughly 90-100 inches, 7-1/2 - 8 pounds. Make sure bolts turn freely befroe retightening them or clean up tapped holes with a 5/16 NC tap. It's not uncommon for head bolts to loosen up. Maybe something spilled over on machine also if it has been sitting that long.
