squonk 43,780 #28 Posted January 5, 2022 I hold it down or put a 5 lb. slab weight on it when checking. Putting the keepers on is for guys who haven't lost their sanity yet. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest, I don't know what an un-standard valve is. Don't think I have seen "standard" or "un-standard", just valves. Motor builders can probably tell you more.

I’m not sure exactly what you mean but it’s what the manufacturer spec. What model Kohler are you working on.? I’ll get you the Kohler spec.

I thought he was working on a Kohler. With that in mind, furnish the make and model and spec number of the engine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
