KK560

My k301 crank from a 1250 is worn out and can't be turned anymore. If you have one you would sell or know a place I could get mine built up, I might be interested.

How do you set the cam and crank timing in these engines? Is there marks inside to line up? I pulled the back cover off to look inside and didn't notice any.

Never mind, I got it figured out.

Is there a certain position the governor spring is supposed to be hooked and the linkage to the carburetor set at? I'm either getting full throttle with the lever only half way or half throttle with the lever wide open.

I got a Kohler Command that's only able to turn half a revolution. It turned fine when I got it and haven't even ran it yet. Any ideas what the issue could be?

I've heard the former Nevada owner had another shop somewhere but wasn't sure where.

Yep

Thanks I'll give them a call.

Found a crack in the head of the 560.

Any good machine shops you would recommend? I've taken multiple things to Nevada and don't plan on going there again.

Is there an easy way to take the head off without the pushrods stuck between the fuel tank and the block?

Mine puts out no more than 5psi and people are saying that's why I'm having gasket issues.

Can a D282 handle a turbo and how many pounds does it take to blow the head gasket? I need to settle a debate.

I might be able to borrow an excavator or have the neighbor use their crane.
