The Kohler is so sturdy it usually does not put put a hole in block.   [Reply]  [No Email]

The timing of the cam is easy the crank mark is on the tooth and the cam mark is located at the the bottom between 2 teeth, when placed properly they will line up. Ignition is determined by the push rod due to the enging being timed or 180 degrees out. I Generally put a chalk mark on the flywheel and on outside of the shroud makes the timing lite easier to use. The timing of gears came from Chiltons Small Engine Repair manuel. Goog luck.   [Reply]  [No Email]

When i look on the command motors they all have balance gears. Im not sure if they are different.   [Reply]  [No Email]

It's a big PDF file, but the pictures and diagrams are very clear. Jim. Kohler web site.   [Reply]  [No Email]
