oliver2-44 10,397 #52 Posted January 9, 2022 This is a head gasket with what I call the solid fire ring. See the solid 1/8” side smooth metal on the inner inner diameter of the head gasket The above photo is the aluminum bearing plate This photo is the Infineon side of the plate. Your crankshaft bearing goes in that center ring Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely not the original flywheel or possible not original motor. Does the motor flywheel tin have a decal with a serial number and spec number on it? @richmondred01 @pfrederi don’t you think that motor would run hot without flywheel fins on it? Edit: My bad. I forgot this was a Kohler Magnum. Edited January 9, 2022 by oliver2-44 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
