Time to start another one

[Wishin4a416 2,185]

Been a long time since I got to work on this Ole girl. To many irons in the fire. Its Kohler time, or is that "Miller Time", but I got the engine tore down and decreased. Has a nice .002" groove in the jug from a broken top ring so its off to the machine shop soon. I will rebuild this in the Man Cave where there is some heat!

Nice work so far, looks like it's turning out great!   Are you by chance parting out that 414-8 you pillaged  parts off of?

Very sharp!

Not really. I have been stealing parts off of it for awhile. What are you needing?

[Wishin4a416 2,185]

Fresh back from the machine shop with a .010" overbore and new guides and valve job. Time to get busy.

Just thinking the foot pans. I was considering widening the stock ones on mine, and using a second set would be easy.

Let me look in the shed this weekend. Its to dark when I get home during the week. I should have some.

Its a Long Block again. Hope to get it set on the Tractor Saturday and then to start finishing it up. I wouldnt mind seeing this warm weather stick around a little longer so the garage stays warm.

[Wishin4a416 2,185]

A little more progress today before having to go away. Maybe I can light er up soon if I get some more garage time.

The paint combination brings out so much detail. Excellent job.

Very nice paint work. What did you use for the carburetor? Or is it cleaned up with clear coat?

I just used brake cleaner then the SOS pad. Rinse real good in hot water and blow off and then swish around in Acetone.

are you sure that cylinder is not cracked the entire length? I can clearly see a crack on the far side extending down. That is not a ring gouge as a gouge would have created a straight up and down line grove this line I see is a fine crack varying right and left as it goes down the cylinder. I may be wrong but I don't think so.

[Wishin4a416 2,185]

No cracks. I checked it out with a light. Gouge is shown in Post 51.

[jeff lary 171]

ok then good luck my mistake
