They are handy...just got one myself as a last resort to get the steering wheel roll pin out of a simplicity...an hour of hammering and it got it out in 10 seconds 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 12,082 #28 Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Jeff, Did you replace the valve springs? I think worn out springs regulary make clacking noises in a Kohler, even with the lash set correctly. If you set the valves too tight and the noise goes away, that's the surefire sign the springs are worn. Edited September 6, 2022 by kpinnc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I ever have it out again it will be for a full rebuild and I'll definitely keep this in mind, thanks! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
