Kohler K181 and Magnum 8 Question

Recommended Posts

VinsRJ

I have a Magnum 8 and was wondering if anybody has replaced the blower tins with K181 tins. I' m looking to make the Magnum 8 look more vintage for a project.

 

Do they fit? Work with the Magnum flywheel?

 

I'm asking prior to looking/purchasing the K181 tins.

 

Thanks

Flywheel will be a problem, I dont believe a K tin will fit over it.  Also can;t convert to points unless it is a **very** early one.

Thank you... Wasn't looking to swap to points, just want the Magnum to look like a K-Series...

 

Would anyone have the depth and width measurement for a K161/181 K-Series Blower tin on the flyewheel end? Those measurements alone may rule out the swap.

What I was trying to say is on some early magnums, there were point holes stamped but not drilled, and sometimes the cam with the lobe was still there.  Only on some early ones....
