rmaynard 15,913 #2 Posted January 8, 2024 Pretty straight forward. If you don't have cylinder measuring tools, I would take it to a good small engine machine shop and have it measured. They can determine what it needs. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to just need a cylinder honing and new rings. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 50,698 #5 Posted January 9, 2024 Just figure on a full blown rebuild and you'll be set for 40 more years. I'm lucky and have a brother who has the bore measuring tools but yes best let a machine shop do it if you don't have that bro. Then you can order the proper piston/ring/rod set you might need. Most problems we all have now is finding the shop that is willing and proficient in messing with our motors. You really don't need the name plate. I just did a K301 that is sadly missing it but having the Kohler manual is a must. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
