ri702bill 10,982 #2 Posted 8 hours ago (edited) 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... Edited 7 hours ago by ri702bill 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gt14rider 994 #3 Posted 6 hours ago 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gt14rider 994 #4 Posted 5 hours ago Got it apart, what you think? A little JP Weld might work. Got a cat scan done, confirmed, cam fubar. 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gt14rider 994 #7 Posted 1 hour ago Yah she's a humdinger, she has to be right in the middle everything. Found the camshaft, cleaned it up, should work. Will clean up the block, new gaskets, couple seals, I already rebuilt the fuel pump, and carburetor. Had to make bushing NLA, come out great, new shaft and made some foam gaskets out of a pre air filter . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 53,763 #8 Posted 6 minutes ago What is the blue stuff on the fuel pump? Nice job on the bushing maybe we can make them now @Achto Always thought a o-ring on the shaft wouldn't hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
