NOTE: High-quality OEM-type ring sets, pistons and piston/rings assemblies are also available for other makes & models of small gas engines. And the piston assemblies that we sell will work with a stock connecting rod and crankshaft without the need for rebalancing. And always use a billet connecting rod of the correct length with an aftermarket piston (Arias or JE) that has the right compression height. These two parts must be matched for the piston to come flush with the top of the engine block, or have a few thousands of an inch pop out. If using an OEM piston and rod, these parts will not interchange with a longer-than-stock billet rod or with an OEM-type of piston of a different compression height, and vice-versa.

NOTE - We can get complete engine rebuild kits, but a kit cost us more than if we were to order the parts individually. So please email us or call us with a list of which parts you need, and we'll get back to you with a total including shipping & handling. And if you need a part or parts that's not listed here or for other make and model of engines, please contact us and we'll see if we can get it at a reasonable price. Please contact us if you're interested in any of the above parts or items.

New and Used OEM Replacement Connecting Rods -

Upon installation of a connecting rod in a Kohler engine, the oil hole in the cap faces toward the camshaft! There's "match marks" on both the rod and rod cap. They MUST be aligned or "matched up" so the big end of the rod forms a perfect circle around the crank journal when installed. Otherwise, if the cap is installed backwards, the "perfect circle" will be oblong or "egg-shaped," which will bind on the crank journal. And DO NOT over-tighten the rod bolts or nuts! If the threads strip out in a rod, then perhaps a longer grade 8 fine thread bolt can be installed in reverse to serve as a stud (the rod will need to be machined for head bolt clearance) and use a grade 8 nut. If this cannot be done, then the rod is scrap metal.

Part # 150-960 New 8 ball main crankshaft bearings for 10hp, 12hp, 14hp, 16hp (flatheads) and 18hp (OHV) Kohler K-series and Magnum single cylinder cast iron engines. These are specifically designed to provide maximum performance through precise ball implement selection. At higher rpms, bigger balls run cooler which create less rolling resistance than bearings with smaller balls. Heat treated. Good for high performance use. Made in China, but has the same quality as OEM Kohler bearings for long wear. Replaces Kohler part # 235376. Dimensions: 1.57" i.d. x 3.54" o.d. x .90" width. $20.00 each, plus shipping & handling. Part #150-973 NOTE: With the main bearings removed from an engine, and if all the oil is cleaned from the bearings, allowed to thoroughly dry, and then the bearings are spun by hand, and if the bearings isn't worn much or at all, they might feel "rough" and make a rattling sound. This rattling sound isn't necessarily because the bearing is worn. The noise is caused by the balls running dry on the races because there's no oil to separate them. They're simply making metal to metal contact. Try applying a small amount of motor oil to the balls/races and then spin them. They should now be a lot quieter. The same thing will happen with new ball bearings. By the way - Most main bearings in a Kohler engine will wear extremely little, if any at all, and usually don't require replacing. Although some main bearings will wear (which is obvious), and need to be replaced. And excessively worn main bearings will make a rumbling noise and the engine will have a more than-usual-vibration.

Complete Exhaust Header Pipe Kits - We offer three types of exhaust header pipe kits. Top of page
The two holes that's to be drilled and tapped for the header pipe in the exhaust port of the engine block should be performed on the table of a large milling machine by an experienced machinist. The holes are to be drilled with a letter "F" or 17/16" drill bit, and about 1-1/4" deep. Then the threads cut perpendicular to the exhaust flange with a 5/16-24 NC tapered tap. Use plenty of oil and go slow to prevent from breaking the tap off in the block. Because if it breaks off, it'll be terribly hard to remove.

Complete and ready to bolt on header pipe kit for 10hp, 12hp and 14hp Stock and Stock-Altered Kohler engines with stock size valves and with or without a working governor. Kit includes one 1-3/16" i.d. x 1-5/16" o.d. pipe; measures approximately 7" from the block and approximately 19" tall; has a 90° semi-mandrel bend; mounting flange; two Allen head stainless steel mounting bolts and an anti-vibration brace.

NOTE: To fasten the anti-vibration brace to the pipe, with an engine turning no more than 4,000 rpms, it's safe to use a stainless steel automotive radiator hose clamp. But if an engine is going to run at wide open throttle, it's best to use a 1-1/2" automotive "U" shaped muffler clamp. These are available at any auto parts store. By the way - the anti-vibration brace is very important because we think there's nothing more embarrassing and being disqualified than having a welded-on header pipe break off at the weld while the tractor is pulling down the track. Please contact us if you're interested in any of the above parts or service.

Install oversize valves, and port/polish intake and exhaust runners (aftermarket [Kohler] block): $300.00 labor, plus return shipping & handling. Install OEM-type [centered] replacement cast iron valve guides in OEM Kohler block: $15.00 each. Install thin-wall bronze sleeves in valve guides in Kohler and other makes of engines with no removable valve guides. $10.00 each. NOTE: Bronze valve guide sleeves are an alternative to replacing the entire guide in Kohler engines. Bronze also last longer than cast iron guides because bronze retains more oil for better lubrication of the valve stem. Also, these type of valve guides requires special air-operated tools to install. They're expensive and not something an average person would have on hand. Install offset valve guides in OEM Kohler block. $50.00, plus return shipping & handling. Includes labor and two steel guides with thin-wall bronze sleeves. Oversize valves MUST be used with offset guides. Crankshaft Repairs - Clean burnt aluminum and polish journal to shiny finish: $10.00 each journal. (The only problem with doing this is it may clean up nicely not be worn. If it is worn, it would need to be reground to the next undersize. If it's not worn, then a STD size connecting rod can be used. But if it is worn, an undersize rod and possibly one with a bearing insert is required. If it does need regrinding, then there's no charge for cleaning it.) Regrind journal (crank pin): $55.00 per journal. Note: Kohler crankshafts can be reground to .030" undersize and still be safe to use with matching undersized bearing inserts installed in the connecting rod. And all crankshafts, rather if they're automotive or small engine, are checked for straightness before grinding. If they're bent or twisted, sometimes they can be straightened. We also do offset crankshaft grinding to increase the length of the stroke at no extra charge. On the 7hp and 8hp Kohler and other makes and models of engines when an undersize connecting rod or bearing inserts isn't available, if the crankshaft is worn beyond .010" and needs to be reground again, the journal can be reground to wherever it "cleans up" or is true again, and then the connecting rod can be resized so it'll fit the smaller undersize journal. To fit the rod to the smaller diameter crank journal, we remove metal from the mating end of the rod cap, then we fasten the cap to the rod. The big hole in the rod is now oblong or "egg shaped." Then we resize the hole until it's .002" larger than the diameter of the crank journal. This reshapes the hole into a perfect circle again, only smaller in diameter. This can only be performed on a rod with a good bearing surface. It cannot be done on a burnt or heavily scored connecting rod. This works very well and it lasts as long as an ordinary STD rod and crank journal. The cost for doing this is $75.00 labor, plus return shipping & handling. If you're interested, we will need your crankshaft and connecting rod. Repair broken off 5/8" stud in crankshaft on flywheel end. We center drill and cut threads for a hardened 5/8" diameter bolt in the end of the crankshaft to secure the flywheel. $40.00 labor, plus return shipping & handling. Drill hole and cut 7/16-20 NF threads in the PTO end of the crankshaft for a retaining bolt and flat washer. $20.00. Machine Work for Connecting Rod - Bore and notch 10hp-18hp cast iron block single cylinder Kohler connecting rods for installation of bearing inserts: $25.00 labor, plus shipping & handling. Clevite 77 bearing inserts available only in STD, .010", .020" undersizes. $15.00 each, plus shipping & handling. Federal Mogul bearing inserts available only in .030" undersize. $25.00 each, plus shipping & handling. Bearing inserts are available in STD, .010", .020" and .030" undersizes. Please let us know if you want the bearing centered in the bore of the rod (piston flush with top of block) or offset .020" or more (up to .125" at no extra charge) to pop the piston out of the cylinder to raise the compression and help improve air flow within the combustion chamber for more power and torque. The bearing inserts we install in Kohler connecting rods can be used for ordinary yard work or pulling competition.

Bare Kohler K-series Engine Blocks (when available) - Top of page 7hp and 8hp engine block. (K141, K161 & K181 with 2-15/16" bore) $40.00 each, plus shipping & handling. 10hp (K241) engine block. $65.00 each, plus shipping & handling. 10hp (K241) engine block with 10hp bore and K301 embossed on the PTO end. (Extra thick cylinder wall.). $200.00 each, plus shipping & handling. 12hp (K301) engine block. $125.00 each, plus shipping & handling. 14hp (K321) engine block. $150.00 each, plus shipping & handling. 16hp (K341 - 12 fin) engine block. $250.00 each, plus shipping & handling. 16hp (K341 - 13 fin) engine block. $400.00 each, plus shipping & handling. Packaged shipping weight for each block is 48 lbs.

NOTE: There are many variations in the 10-16hp Kohler blocks: Some blocks have a wide base (flanges) and some have a narrow base. The very early 10hp blocks have no indention for installing an upper mount gear starter. Also, some of these blocks with flanges (for the wide oil pan) have no holes drilled for converting to a narrow base oil pan. (But the holes can be drilled and tapped.). Some have the oil dipstick tube hole next to the cylinder, while others have no hole there. The hole is either drilled or threaded. Some blocks have provisions for a starter-side mounted oil dipstick tube, and some don't. Some blocks come with balance gears and some don't. Some have a plug where balance gear stub shafts can be installed, and some have no holes drilled for the stub shafts.

Some blocks have two threaded holes for mounting an exhaust pipe flange and provisions to mount a mechanical fuel pump, and some don't have these. The threaded holes on the PTO end of the block can have different bolt patterns. A 12 fin 16hp block works great for the Stock, Stock Altered and Missouri Super Stock classes, and the 13 fin 16hp block works better for the 50+ cube class because it has a thicker cylinder wall. Other than these things, everything else on the blocks is pretty much the same.

Engine Rebuilding Service - We rebuild anything from ordinary stock engines up to high performance engines. We can rebuild your engine however you want. Just tell us know how you're going to use your tractor or equipment and we'll build your engine to suit your needs. If you wish to have us to rebuild or build-up your engine, we'll need a list of what you want done to your engine or a copy of your club's pulling rules regarding the engine requirements before we can give you an estimate on the cost. We'll build your engine to the limit according to the rules, not less than what the rules allow. Whenever we rebuild or build-up an engine, and if you wish to do so, we do whatever it takes so it'll produce the factory-rated horsepower or the maximum horsepower and torque, and last a long time. We go beyond what the repair manual says to do. We can get all the parts needed, too. We can build your engine so it'll be legal for the class you plan to pull in. And with our engine rebuilds and build-ups, you may not always win, but you'll look good trying! We also rebuild ordinary lawn & garden equipment engines too, such as cast iron and aluminum block single- and twin-cylinder flathead, OHV and v-twin Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, Tecumseh and 2-cycle LawnBoy. All pulling engine builds are strictly confidential. This means your pulling competition will not know what goes into your engine!

NOTES:

• A general stock engine rebuild includes: completely disassemble entire engine, clean and inspect all parts, bore (if it needs it) or deglaze cylinder, install new piston/rings/pin/clips assembly, regrind crankshaft journal (if it needs it), install new undersize (.010") connecting rod or bore rod for undersize bearing inserts (.020" or .030"; if it needs it), grind valves and seats, install new gaskets with silicone sealer to lesson oil leaks, install new ignition tune up components, resurface cylinder head, clean and rebuild carburetor, clean commutator and lubricate bushings in gear starter and whatever else the engine may need so it'll run well and last a long time.
• The engines we sell are turn key engines. We build all engines according to the customer's personal preferences for non-pulling purposes or to the customer's pulling club's sanctioning rules. "Built to the max" means engine will produce all the power possible and still remain stock-appearing externally. All of the above will be performed in addition to the mild performance modifications.
• Unlimited rpms means engine will have no governor assembly and it operate at wide open throttle. A billet connecting rod will be installed and the rotating assembly will be dynamically precision balanced.
• ± means more or less. This means if your engine needs minimal labor and/or machining, the price will be slightly less. But if it needs more than usual labor and/or machining, the price will be slightly higher. However, if it has sustained major internal damage or if it needs additional parts, extensive machine work and more labor, then the price will be even higher. And being we can't see your engine before you bring or send it to us, we can't honestly give an exact quote beforehand. But we'll treat you right and we'll try to keep the costs down as much as possible and still build you a quality engine so it'll start easy, produce full power and last a long time. The ± also depends on your personal preferences, parts needed and/or your pulling club's sanctioning rules. Also, if you wish to furnish some or all of the parts yourself, the price will be substantially lower.
• When sending or bringing an engine to me, I don't need everything on it. Just the things that can wear and need rebuilding or reconditioning, such as the gear starter, cylinder head, crankcase breather assembly, fuel pump and carburetor. I need the oil pan on it too, to prevent dirt and dust from entering the crankcase. If you can't pull the flywheel, that'll be fine. I can remove it. A 50% deposit may be required on some engine rebuilds.
• And all rebuilt engines returned (shipped) to the customer are wrapped with plastic to prevent dust and dirt contamination and come with a 90 day workmanship warranty from date of pickup or delivery.

If you decide to ship your engine to us, enclose it in a sturdy wooden crate with cushioning surrounding the engine, and the crate securely fastened onto a wooden pallet. Do not use a cardboard box! To build a crate, start with 2" x 2" frame work with a skid pallet on the bottom (so a forklift can pick it up without damage), fasten the oil pan of the engine to the bottom of the crate (pallet), use either 1/4" plywood or paneling to cover the crate, place some heavy pieces of Styrofoam or heavy cardboard around and above the engine to help cushion it during transport, and fasten everything on and in the crate with sheet rock screws. Or if you bring an engine to us in person, sit it in an old tire to keep it from moving around during transportation. And please let us know first so we can expect your arrival. It'll be best to have everything on the engine that can wear so we can repair them too, and make the necessary adjustments.

To ship your engine to us, first off, do not use the US Mail Service, UPS or FedEx Express! Their employees are trained in handling lightweight packages (weighing up to 70 lb.) and the heavier items tend to get damaged with their kind of handling. They are very hard on heavy packages when they handle them. The packages are placed on conveyor-belt systems and they seem to always drop the heavy ones off of the elevated conveyors, which usually destroys whatever is inside them.

Here's a great web site that calculates freight charges. Go here: http://www.shipgooder.com/ and type in your zip code, our zip code (65203) and the crated weight of a typical complete 10-16hp Kohler engine (145 lb.).

If you decide to ship your engine to me, please crate it well. We're authorized FedEx Ground (for anything up to 150 lbs.) and FedEx Freight (for anything over 150 lbs.) shippers because they've been proven to be the lowest cost, most gentle and reliable shipping companies. Contact your local FedEx Ground for more details. Or you can use a major trucking company with a good reputation for shipping heavy, fragile objects. Look in the Yellow Pages and ask around. The reason we say this is because we once returned a rebuilt engine that was crated very well to a customer using a well-known shipping company, and it was almost destroyed in shipping when he received it. You'll have better success with shippers such as FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight, Roadway, etc. Freight company employees are trained in handling heavy packages plus they use tow motors to move the freight around, not like UPS or FedEx Express with their uncaring "gorillas" unloading and loading the trucks. The approximate shipping weight of a crated 7 and 8hp Kohler engine is 100 lbs. And 10-16hp single cylinder cast iron Kohler engine is 145 lbs.

To ship an engine, freight companies require it to be in an enclosed wooden or plastic crate, or a sturdy cardboard box. It's best to securely fasten it with the oil pan bolts on a pallet made of 2 x 4's and fasten the boards together with long drywall screws, not nails. Then place a 2 x 2 wooden frame around the pallet and fasten 1/4" plywood with a 2 x 2 frame work. Run cross-braces which encompasses the top portion of the cylinder of the block. This will support or stabilize the top of the block and keep the engine from getting ripped off the base. Put a lid on the top and then load it in the trucking company's truck when it arrives with a tow motor. You shouldn't have any problems shipping an engine this way.

To ship a transaxle, this is easier. They don't require an enclosed crate. Just place the transaxle on the center of a wooden pallet and stretch wrap (use low-cost ratchet nylon tie-downs) to securely fasten it to the pallet. Use at least 6 layers of stretch wrap or several tie-downs. This should work really well. The shipping weight of a Cub Cadet cast iron case transaxle when strapped to a wooden pallet is approximately 215 lbs.
