Allright all you engine hoarders.............anyone have a kolher K181 or K181S running or not running they would consider letting go? Im in a pickle. What I really need is a good block... standard bore is fine and does not have to be good. The engine I have now is at the machine shop and right now all work has been stopped due to a broken easyout in the headbolt hole right by the exhaust. They tried to get it out but could not. Now they are talking about having it "fine lazered", etc. It just sounds expensive to me. So the next option might be to find another motor/block I can work with. So fellas If you have one or more sitting around that is just to heavy for that mini project.......I really really could use it for my tractor.
The older the K series the better. Mine is from 1966. I do have a sweet 8HP briggs that I would trade for a nice running K series Kohler. Or cash.......PM me if you may be able to help. I was kinda bummed when they called and said they couldnt get it out......It sure looks like its been in there for a hell of a long time. Ran fine with it broken there but.....Im doing this one right and if they say it needs/should come out or the block should be replaced then so be it. anyone? Im in CT.........anyone got one close by?
