Andrew58 1 #1 Posted March 3, 2015 I have a Tecumseh H60 horizontal shaft, aluminum cylinder with cast iron sleeve. I'm sure this is an H60 engine because I measured the bore and stroke to be 2-5/8" bore x 2-1/2" stroke. Here's my problem. The engine shroud that has the model and spec numbers reads HH60, which is a full cast iron engine. It is not cast iron. I got this engine many years ago from somebody, somewhere. It's been messed with. I had the engine running over the weekend and it sounds good, no knocks etc. The bore has rust pits and it does smoke but not bad. I need to bore it and replace piston/rings with a new .10 over set. The local shop told me there are hundreds of specification numbers for H60 engines so he is reluctant to order me a new piston and rings. Is there any way to narrow this down to what piston I need? Is there maybe a number cast into the block somewhere with the specification number? I don't see one anywhere. I can't imagine there could be so many different pistons for this engine.

slammer302 2,154 #2 Posted March 3, 2015 I would give you the spec number from mine but it is alum bore so the piston rings might not be the same as urs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

305 380 #4 Posted March 3, 2015 i think you will have a hard time finding any .010 piston for a H60 , you may find a NOS one on eBay. for new pistons all is available is standard bore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew58 1 #5 Posted March 5, 2015 Thanks guys for your replies. I have decided to shef this engine and pull my K161 out of the moth balls. It ran perfectly when I put it into storage years ago. This Kohler will run rings around the Tecumseh but I'll have to make some modifications. Thanks again, guys Andrew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
