Hmmm. is the cam the source of the problem or is it the victim here??

Did you break the connecting rod?? I ask because I bought two C81's years ago. One ran but was tired; the other broke the connecting rod, snapped the cam in two and blew out the back cam mount. And ventilated the block bigtime. I did save the head, flywheel, tins, oil pan , points & coil though...

Hi all @ri702bill , rebuilt that k181 in spring of 2018, put it together with a bunch of parts, so could be it was cracked when installed, it all ways had a tic, but not bad enough to pull apart,  the dreaded kohler tic.  Anyway got to dig up another cam.

Got it apart, what you think?  A little JP Weld might work. Got a cat scan done, confirmed, cam fubar.:USA:
