Valve guide replacement k 181

Recommended Posts

How hard is it to replace valve guides in a k 181 .  I looked on YouTube for videos  but only find how to replace ones on a Briggs and Stratton engine.

I had difficulty finding any videos on it but the manual will address it you will need the service manual. Just search k181 it will come right up.

Moe - this is not exactly a backyard operation, special tools are required for guide removal, insertion, and to size the ID once installed. All 3 steps must be done properly to assure that the guide ID is round and perpendicular to the head of the valve, so that the valve sits on the seat evenly...

This Kohler manual should help - see page 6 of Section 11... Note the installed position of the  guide position in the block - it does not press to a stop.
