Todays mistake

[1811Cub]

To properly repair the governor, the block will need to be split, and at least one jug will need to be removed to achieve that. The pin will need to have a set screw installed to prevent it from falling out of that bore.

6 $ plug worked to allow me to figure out 0 compression in 1 cyl. Yah

 

[1811Cub]

Sounds like there are more issues than just a governor gear. Hopefully it is valvetrain related

Fired up the 1810 and drove it around cuz the PO said it needed either a cylinder head gasket or something but it was running beautiful no smoke or noises parked it and noticed oil dripping out of the bottle of the engine bad day for the magnums

 

[1811Cub]

Well, they are at least 30 years old now. Bound to have some issues. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

At least you got a good parts machine...

 

[cubs4lifeofme]

Time to downsize. its probably a loose bolt or something on the 1810. that was intended to be a parts machine. lol

 

[1811Cub]

Crank seals are common to leak on them.

Piston looks good and moves back and forth but neither valve does. Could the failed governor busted my cam ?

 

[lpalma]

Oh well, or is that oil well, How much oil is still in it? as for the cam split it.

 

[cubs4lifeofme]

Still full of oil. Gonna drain it now and Investigate .

Did Kohler use black gasket maker on front cover ?

 

[cubs4lifeofme]

I cannot get the case to split do I need to take both cylinders off to get the case to split?

 

[cubs4lifeofme]

 

[cubs4lifeofme]

Yes have to take the left side cylinder off as there's two bolts in the front of the block
