I have a c160 automatic with a 16hp Kohler k341 engine. After mowing for an hour or so the other day, engine started to belch blue smoke and went klunk! It had been using oil and smoking on start-up, so I have been good about checking/adding oil before starting.
Yesterday I pulled the head off and the piston had shattered and valves bent.
1. Can the engine be repaired and/or is it worth it?
2. Is there a good replacement engine for the tractor?
3. Who needs a c160 chassis and 48" mowing deck in excellent working order, minus an engine?
