Joker72 71 #1 Posted 4 hours ago (edited) I have a great pulling and mechanically solid '74 c160 hydro but it burns a bit of oil. I would like to use acceessories. Would you have any reservation about putting the effort into replacing rings and re-seating valves with intentions of using it for work? Thanks!

I would say that's a great reason to rebuild that engine. Do it right, and it will last another 40 years. I would spend the money to have the bore reworked, and the valve seats. Also check the crank pin as per the manual. OEM pistons, rods, and rings are hard to find, but there are decent aftermarket ones available. If you download the Kohler manual you can handle the rest of it. Me personally, I would also delete the balance gears. It'll thump a bit more, but you won't have to worry about them destroying that K341... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
