Muriatic acid will make the aluminum transfer go away . Wet a small rag with it and wrap the journal , let it sit for an hour then check it . If need do it again , then you can polish with fine grit . If the crank has any small nicks in it touch up any raised spots with a file then polish . Those will just be oil galleys , fine for a lawnmower @ 3 -- 4000 RPM
I have not been very happy with Kohler engines, to me you see less problems with the Kawasaki engines and the vanguard engines than you do with the Kohlers.
It Looks Like Cylinder 1 Got Hotter Then Cylinder 2 The Thin Oil Is The Culprit For All The Damage Give It A Hone And Put The Other Crank & Pistons Etc In It & It Should Be Good To Go I Wouldn't Use That Hydraulic Lifter, I'm Sure You Wouldn't Anyway. That Engine Is Saveable For Not Much Money I Would Rebuild That Engine For Sure...

God Bless, and Happy Thursday!
Could it have been running on one cylinder causing the carbon difference. Meaning one coil not working.
Yes make one engine out of two , awesome video God Bless you and your family Amen
The engine looks ok enough to Frankenstein back to life with the parts from the other one .
I say. 'use the block, and 1 good piston with the parts from the other engine with a bad cylinder,' when you have time to make a runner.
Yeah I had no problems with Kohler engines just no luck with briggs and Stratton’s get a parts one and replace pistons and rods
7:15 you can use muriatic acid to dissolve the aluminum transfer off the crank.
Great video! i Love watching your videos. i would be interested in watching you make one engine from the two engines. have a wicked good day. :)
Absolutely that's the typo of content that I like to watch. Rebuild it.
Try and Polish the crank for sure yeah like to it rebuild I’m planning to do one my self 😊
I'd be interested to watch you tear down and put another one together I'm game thank you for the video
Would love to see you combine 2 blown engines to revive 1
Max HP for a Briggs like to see that
I have the Kohler twin cylinder pro seires engine on my craftsman gt tractor with the hydraulic lifters
Take the 2 engines and make one good one
What i do with those is find a vertical shaft engine and swap everything over if i really need a horizontal engine .
Interesting... informative

Me too you can see my two on my page I got on projects and have a zero turn and 5 v motors
I’ve got a ch18 with bad rings, bad head gaskets and 1 bad intake valve. Came from a cub cadet. Was a major disappointment
Build it for a plow mower
Cool
Yelp doing one myself gave to me.
It's a 18hp to 23hp block and please built it
