New Internal Engine Rebuild Parts for Kohler K-Series and Magnum Engines -
NOTE: All parts listed below are NEW except where specified. And don't be leery of the low prices. The engine parts I sell are from Stens and Rotary. They're of very high quality and priced lower than genuine Kohler parts. They're the same parts I've installed in my customer's lawn and garden equipment and my own pulling tractors for years since 1982 and I've never had any complaints or problems with them.

New OEM Replacement Ring Sets and Piston/Rings Assemblies -

OEM-type ring set for 7hp (K161) and 8hp (K181) Kohler K-series flathead engines with the newer 2-15/16" bore. The top ring is a proven cast design with a chrome edge for long life, proper lubrication and scuff-free service. The 2nd ring is a reverse torsion type for sealing. Finally, the oil ring is the famous 'Flex-Vent' 3-piece design, which exerts uniform pressure on the cylinder wall while providing 200% more drainage capacity than conventional one-piece oil rings. Available in STD, .010", .020" and .030" oversizes. NOTE: The model K141 Kohler engine will need to be bored to 2.9375" to accept these new style rings because the rings for the 2-7/8" bore are no longer available. And these rings will not fit Mahle pistons that originally come in Magnum engines. $14.00 each set. OEM-type ring set for 10hp-16hp and 18hp OHV Kohler K-series flathead engines. Same specs as above. Available in STD, .010", .020" and .030" oversizes. NOTE: These rings will not fit Mahle pistons that originally come in Magnum engines. $21.00 each set. NOTE: Will not fit high performance aftermarket pistons (Arias, J&E, etc.)

Rings are made of cast iron. Available in STD, .010", .020" and .030" oversizes. NOTE: The model K141 Kohler engine will need to be bored to 2.9375" to accept these new style piston and rings because the piston/rings for the 2-7/8" bore are no longer available. $40.00 each, plus shipping.

Available in STD, .010", .020" and .030" oversizes. Compression height: 1.7". Wrist pin is offset to reduce piston slap. $80.00 each, plus shipping. NOTE: Picture is not exact product. 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 I 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 J&E) 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 - I can get complete engine rebuild kits, but a kit cost me more than if I were to order the parts individually. So please email me or call me with a list of which parts you need, and I'll get back to you with a total including shipping. And if you need a part or parts that's not listed here or for other make and model of engines, please contact me and I'll see if I can get it at a reasonable price. Please contact me if you're interested in any of the above parts or items.

Comes with no bearing inserts, but I can bore rod and install bearings if you wish. 5.3" length. NOTE: Comes with no bearing inserts, but I can bore rod and install bearings if you wish. There's "match marks" on both the rod and rod cap. They MUST be aligned so the big end of the rod forms a perfect circle around the crank journal when installed. Otherwise, if the cap is installed in reverse, the "perfect circle" will be egg-shaped or oblong, which will bind on the crank journal. And DO NOT over-tighten the rod bolts, or the rod and cap will become distorted. If this happens, the rod will need to be honed back to the proper dimensions in a rod honing machine. And the oil hole in the cap faces toward the camshaft.

Labor to bore a rod for bearing inserts is $25.00 each, plus shipping. Bearing inserts are $13.00 each, plus shipping. Bearing inserts that I install in Kohler connecting rods can be used for ordinary yard work or for pulling competitively. Please let me know if you want the bearing centered or offset in the bore. No extra charge. More rod boring service information is listed further down. Ê

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. $15.00 each, plus shipping. Part #150-973 New main crankshaft bearings for 7hp and 8hp Kohler K-series and Magnum single cylinder cast iron flathead engines. These are specifically designed to provide maximum performance by means of precise ball implement selection. Heat treated. Good for high performance use. Made in China, but has the same quality as OEM Kohler bearings for long wear. Dimensions: 1.18" i.d. x 2.44" o.d. x .62" width. $10.00 each, plus shipping. Part # 150-960 NOTE: If you were to wash all the oil out of the crankshaft main [ball] bearings with cleaning solvent and allow them to dry, and then later you spun the bearings by hand, and if the bearings isn't worn much or at all, they might make a rattle sound and feel "rough." The noise or roughness isn't necessarily because the bearing is worn. The noise is mainly caused by the balls running dry on the races because there's no oil to separate them. Apply a small amount of motor oil to the balls/races and then spin them by hand. They should be a lot quieter now. The same thing will happen with new ball bearings. And if the bearings have very little play in them, like they're worn, don't worry about this. The metal will swell up as the engine rpms increase and when the motor oil warms up. Even new bearings have little play in them for this reason.

Complete Exhaust Header Pipe Kits - I 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.

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 I 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 about halfway down the track.

Complete and ready to bolt on, exhaust 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 a 1-3/16" i.d. x 1-5/16" o.d. pipe. It measures approximately 7" from the block and approximately 19" tall, has a 90° semi-mandrel bend pipe, welded-on mounting flange, two Allen head stainless steel mounting bolts and an anti-vibration brace. Very shiny pipe, resists rust. Made of galvanized-coated steel. This is the only tubing I found that's the right size. Designed for use on Cub Cadets and most other makes & models of garden tractors with a 10, 12 or 14hp Kohler K-series or Magnum engines. This pipe has a flange that securely fastens to the engine block with two furnished 5/16" diameter coarse thread (5/16-18 NC) Allen head bolts. If your block don't have the two holes, then they will need to be drilled and threaded to accept the pipe. There is no other way to fasten this pipe to the block. Comes with no mounting gasket. Use silicone sealer instead. An adapter is NOT needed for these pipes because the flange is small enough to clear the governor lever. Shipping weight is 4 lbs. Pipe not welded onto flange, anti-vibration brace included (no hole drilled in brace): $35.00 each, plus shipping. NOTE: Being the pipe won't be welded to the flange, you'll have to locate and drill the hole in the brace to fasten to the head bolt yourself. Pipe with flange welded-on and anti-vibration brace included: $45.00 each, plus shipping. Ready to bolt-on.

Complete and ready to bolt on, exhaust header pipe kit for 10hp, 12hp and 14hp Stock-Altered and 30 c.i. Super-Stock Kohler engines with oversize valves and without a governor lever. Kit comes with a 1-3/8" i.d. x 1-1/2" o.d., from the center of the pipe, it measures approximately 7" from the block and approximately 19" tall, 90° bend pipe, welded-on mounting flange, two hex head stainless steel mounting bolts, two Allen head mounting bolts, block-to-flange adapter and an anti-vibration brace. High-quality 16 gauge aluminized steel automotive exhaust tubing, which looks nice and resists rust. The adapter securely fastens to the engine block with two furnished 5/16" diameter coarse thread (5/16-18 NC) Allen head bolts. If your block don't have the two holes, then they will need to be drilled and threaded to accept the pipe. There is no other way to fasten this pipe to the block. Comes with no mounting gasket. Use silicone sealer instead. Designed for use on Cub Cadets and most other makes & models of garden tractors with a 10, 12 or 14hp Kohler K-series or Magnum engines. Shipping weight is 5 lbs. Pipe not welded onto flange, anti-vibration brace included (no hole drilled in brace): $35.00 each, plus shipping. NOTE: Being the pipe won't be welded to the flange, you'll have to locate and drill the hole in the brace to fasten to the head bolt yourself. Pipe with flange welded-on and anti-vibration brace included: $45.00 each, plus shipping. Ready to bolt-on.

Complete exhaust header pipe kit for 16hp Stock, Stock-Altered or Super-Stock Kohler engines with stock size or oversize valves and with or without a working governor. Kit comes with a 1-3/8" i.d. x 1-1/2" o.d., pipe. It measures approximately 7" from the block and approximately 19" tall, 90° bend pipe, welded-on mounting flange, two hex head stainless steel mounting bolts and an anti-vibration brace. High-quality 16 gauge aluminized steel automotive exhaust tubing, which looks nice and resists rust. This pipe has a flange that securely fastens to the engine block with two furnished 5/16" diameter coarse thread (5/16-18 NC) bolts. If your block don't have the two holes, then they will need to be drilled and threaded to accept the pipe. There is no other way to fasten this pipe to the block. Comes with no mounting gasket. Use silicone sealer instead. Designed for use on Cub Cadets and most other makes & models of garden tractors with a 16hp Kohler K-series or Magnum engine. Shipping weight is 4 lbs. Pipe not welded onto flange, anti-vibration brace included (no hole drilled in brace): $25.00 each, plus shipping. NOTE: Being the pipe won't be welded to the flange, you'll have to locate and drill the hole in the brace to fasten to the head bolt yourself. Pipe with flange welded-on and anti-vibration brace included: $35.00 each, plus shipping. Ready to bolt-on.

NOTE: I can also make header pipes for other makes and models of engines. I'll need to know the outside diameter of the pipe, the overall length, how far it will need to come out from the engine to clear the hood, how many bends it will need, and the dimensions of the mounting flange. You can order larger diameter header pipes from either Lakota Racing, Midwest Super Cub or Nichols Performance.

Steel exhaust pipe mounting flange-to-engine block for 10, 12 and 14hp single cylinder, and KT17, KT19, M18 and M20 twin cylinder Kohler and Magnum flathead engines.

Steel exhaust pipe mounting flange to engine block for 16hp Kohler engines.1/4" thick, 2 bolt holes, 1-1/2" center hole. To be welded onto a 1-1/2" o.d. exhaust pipe. Fits perfectly on the 16hp Kohler K-series and Magnum flathead engines and adapter below. $8.00 each, plus shipping.

Steel exhaust port to header flange adapter for 10, 12 and 14hp Kohler and Magnum flathead engines. Used to adapt the Kohler engine block to the flange (above) on the header pipe because the holes in the exhaust port aren't spaced out enough to accept the flange alone. Has a 1-3/16" center hole. Made of steel. $20.00 each, plus shipping. Please contact me if you're interested in any of the above parts or service.

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): $50.00 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, I remove metal from the mating end of the rod cap, then I fasten the cap to the rod. The big hole in the rod is now oblong or "egg shaped." Then I 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. If you're interested, I will need your crankshaft and connecting rod.
• Repair broken off stud in crankshaft on flywheel end: $30.00 labor, plus return shipping. I drill and cut threads for a hardened 3/8" or 5/8" diameter bolt in the end of the crankshaft to secure the flywheel.
• 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.

Connecting Rod -

• Labor to machine 10hp-18hp cast iron block single cylinder Kohler connecting rods for installation of bearing inserts: $25.00 each, plus shipping or return shipping.
• Quality Clevite 77 connecting rod bearing inserts: $13.00 each, plus shipping. (Federal Mogul no longer available from me.)
  • Bearing inserts are available in STD, .010", .020" and .030" undersizes. Please specify if you want the bearing inserts 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 slightly and help improve air flow within the combustion chamber for more power and torque at high rpms. Bearing inserts that I install in Kohler connecting rods can be used for ordinary yard work or for pulling competitively.

  • The stock stroke/.060" overbore/37 cubic inch pulling engine is very popular here in Missouri. It's been here for many years, too. It's a competitive class of tractors and they put on a display of speed and power to the spectators. We in Missouri call it the 16hp Super-Stock, but most clubs in other states call it the Missouri Super-Stock.

NOTES:

• A basic stock engine rebuild includes completely disassemble entire engine, clean and inspect all parts, bore cylinder (if it needs it), install a new piston/rings/pin/clips assembly, regrind crankshaft journal (if it needs it), bore connecting rod for undersize bearing (if it needs it), grind valves and seats, new gaskets, tune up kit, resurface cylinder head, clean and rebuild carburetor, clean commutator and lubricate bushings in gear starter and whatever else it may need so it'll run well and last a long time.
• These are turn key engines. I build all engines according to the customer's personal preferences for non-pulling purposes or to the customer's pulling club's rules. "Built to the max" means engine will produce all the power possible and still remain basically 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 runs at wide open throttle.
• ± means more or less. This means if your engine needs just a simple rebuild, it will cost the lower amount. But if it has sustained some major internal damage or if it needs additional parts or machine work, and more labor and/or parts is needed, then the price will be slightly higher. And being I can't see your engine in person, I can't honestly give an exact quote online. But I'll treat you right and I'll try to keep the costs down as much as possible and still build your engine so it'll produce full power and last a long time. The ± also depends on your personal preferences, parts needed and/or your pulling association's rules. And if you wish to furnish some or all of the parts, the price will be substantially lower.
• All engines shipped are returned wrapped with plastic to prevent dust and dirt contamination and come with a 90 day workmanship warranty from date of pickup or delivery.

The higher prices include rebuilding everything on and in the engine; includes the carburetor reworked, exhaust header pipe, ignition components, starter, etc., depending on rules requirements, what you want done and how "hot" you want your engine to perform. A deposit is required on all engine rebuilds.

If you decide to ship an engine to me, enclose it in a wooden crate or cardboard box fastened on a wooden pallet. To build a sturdy 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 around and above the engine (cover the engine with plastic or a garbage bag first) 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 me in person, sit it in an old tire to keep it from moving around during transportation. And please let me know first so we can expect your arrival. It'll be best to have everything on the engine that can wear so I can repair them too, and make the necessary adjustments.

To ship your engine to me, 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, my 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 I say this is because I 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.

! When sending your engine or transaxle to me, please include a note with your name, address, phone number and a description of what you want done. Or if you'd prefer to deliver your engine or transaxle personally to me, I'm located at 1501 West Old Plank Rd., Columbia, Missouri 65203 | Directions | Get Map
