if I buy from UK, full gasket set, seals, STB piston and rings
if I buy from the US for a tiny bit more I get piston rod and valves...
So once I get my first Bendy 4WD demo video in the bag looks like the engine is being split!
Looking just shy of 100 notes for a rebuild kit, need to check the bore. If it's a rebore job I'll gamble on another engine first I think...
Hopefully a new piston and rings will make a difference.
Thanks for the offer...
plan A is to use an original Wheel Horse seat - as I'm keen for it to look like a genuine model. If I can't get a seat or make it work, then I might just be dropping your way Tom.
cheers
It's all been rather technical
Getting closer, it feels like I'm near the end, but just know getting the hydraulics sorted is going to be tough!
Thanks Neil, might be able to do some 4wd tests in the next few weeks
Thanks dad
Some of you might recall me asking for kohler spares in anticipation of pulling the head on my M16.
Well it is exactly as expected.... Guessing there's no oil ring left judging by this picture
Will be collecting spares anytime soon
