meadowfield 1,900 #1 Posted October 18, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 1,900 #4 Posted October 20, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #5 Posted October 21, 2014 Looking just shy of 100 notes for a rebuild kit, Ouch! What do you get for your money, Mark?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #6 Posted October 21, 2014 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wristpin 399 #7 Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Kohler used to do "service ring sets" to be used in worn but not re bored engines. Don't know whether this still applies but Mike Hitchins would be the man to ask.Those of a certain age will remember Cords piston rings for worn engines. Cords are still around but now concentrate on original equipment rings for engine manufacturers etc . However they do still have some stock for "our" type of engines and after a bit of preservence I recently managed to get a ring set fo a Kubota MAG. http://www.mayphil.com/creo_files/upload/files/cords_brochure.pdf Edited October 21, 2014 by Wristpin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
