Geezus Christ! Funny Lookin Flywheel! On a serious note never heard or seen of adjustable weight crank shaft! Great How To Video...maybe put that in the title 🥰 🇺🇸🤙🏻🦅🔧
Yo UA-cam has brought you to me .just saw the intro weekly had had to subscribe . I thought my Kohler had a customer crank but that right thair is a real nice pice of steel
I used assembly lube because this engine is a long term project. If you use plain oil it will run off and it will be a dry start...I will put oil into the cylinder and rotate it just prior to its first start. This is how I do all my engine builds and never had an issue.
awesome build, and on an artistic level, i kept envisioning taking a picure of crank shaft and put in a fame on the wall. are needlenose pliers not small enough to help get rings in, or a hemostatic clamp?
Has that motor been sleeved? Picked up a command 18 horizontal shaft. And it was setup. Lots of water damage. Piston siezed jn the cylinder. I got it freed up and hoping a quick hone will do the job
@@PullerbearEd I’m hoping a sleeve job is not in my future. But just might be the case. Original plan is to repower an allis b110. Transformation into a full puller next.
@@PullerbearEd come to find out the motors already has been sleeved. However the putting will not hone out.. newbie question here. Can a sleeve be bored. Or should sleeves be replaced. Not looking to make a high horsepower puller. Just repowering an old allis b-110 that I would like to hobby pull. But will have use of the implements.
I have the kohler 27hp on my stump grinder. What modification is this and if it's for Torq, would this be practical for a stump grinder ? I'm not looking for HP, I'm looking for torque.
Are you using a stock machined case? Do you use a full bearing in the flywheel side of the case? What small engine v-twin if any is this build based on? I am very interested in this custom building of v-twins and would like to know where you source your parts and other pertinent info. I will try to catch up...😉
Yes it is based on a stock case and yes it has a bearing on both ends of the crank. This is a Kohler command block. The parts are from various suppliers, I will try to list all of them in the next video I post on the build.
This engine may sit for a few weeks before it get ran and broken in. So the thick lube will stay in place. If I were assembling an engine thats was going straight into use I'd use a heave weight oil
This is gonna be a badass build. Are you running it on alcohol? Also, have you done any work with opposed twins? I’m thinking about building a manifold and mounting a mikuni on mine.
@@PullerbearEd Mine is a vertical shaft Kohler. On a mud mower. I’m running separate headers right now but I wanna go 2 into 1 stack out the side through a glasspack.
Was really interested to see this. Lost that interest when I saw you were going to waste our time filming every single turn of your wrench. Editing is useful. I get that you are tightening down the bolts. I am not interested in seeing you tighten each bolt one by one till you finish torquing, Move the topic along. I see why you needed 16 videos. Time waster. Unwatchable and really wanted to.
For everyone that doesn't want to see every bolt being tightened their are 10 that will comment that they were never done...can't make everyone happy but I do my best. Thanks for what you did watch and the valuable input one my videos
The connecting rod oil holes in the crankshaft should be approximately 30 degrees BTD center of the crank.
👍🏻👍🏻
This engine is so sweet can’t wait to here this bad boy fire up
Me too. I've seen lots of them in person but this is the first I have put together.
always tools lots of engines great suff thanks for sharing
Thank you
Good and very detailed video pullerbear.
Thank you. There is a fine link between detailed and boring...thank you for watching
Nice work Ed
Thanks 👍

I will look into adding that into the title thanks.

Thank you, it is a nice piece.
Great vid brother very detailed thanks for sharing your vast knowledge!!! That will be a ripper.
Thank you. Its hard to be detailed and not have an hour long video.
Thats gonna be a beast of a motor that ur buildin for him.
I hope so..thank you for watching
Awesome build
Thank you
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
Awesome build love to see it running
It might run when I get done..lol thanks for watching
Nice build Ed!👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for watching Craig
Cool video buddy 👍. I like that you show all the tools you use 👍. Yes them dang rings will stab the crap out of ya🙈, lol
I didn't notice till after I shot the video that those were twice as thick as OEM keep ring..thanks for watching
Nice work.
Thank you
It's just sooooo shiny!
Lol yes it is.
OIL a ring set and piston skirts, not lithium based assembly lube.
I used assembly lube because this engine is a long term project. If you use plain oil it will run off and it will be a dry start...I will put oil into the cylinder and rotate it just prior to its first start. This is how I do all my engine builds and never had an issue.
Sweet video brother! I love this kinda stuff. Nice work. PEACE!!!!!
I do too. Thank you for watching
Ok I need one of those ring filers .looks a lot better then how I bastard them down to sise
It is really slick.
good job
Thank you
Love the videos... Keep them coming.. #MudMowers
Thanks lucky

I've never tried small pliers. I do know that you don't want to distort the ring in any way so that it will stay in the wrist pin.

Yes this block was sleeved. If your block is nicaseal coated then just honing probably if not work if the damage is too bad.
@@PullerbearEd I’m hoping a sleeve job is not in my future. But just might be the case. Original plan is to repower an allis b110. Transformation into a full puller next.
Having a block sleved is that bad. These blocks are worth saving.

Yes they can be reboared. You can probably go 30 over without a problem.
Your so good at what you do.Keep up the great job.How long have you been fixing engines?
Over 30 years Sam..
Where can I get flatop pistons
@jakehildebrandt5445 Midwest Super Cub has them. There are a couple other sellers also.
Where is the best place to get kohler parts. New into modding small engines. Thanks
Midwest super cub, Zack Kerber, or just search garden tractor pulling parts and you will find a couple others.
@@PullerbearEd appreciate it !
No problem.
I have the kohler 27hp on my stump grinder. What modification is this and if it's for Torq, would this be practical for a stump grinder ? I'm not looking for HP, I'm looking for torque.
You could try a little bigger cam that would give you more torque.
@@PullerbearEd sorry to bother you but would you know who to purchase it from? Time is money. Be great to have more oomph.
Are you using a stock machined case? Do you use a full bearing in the flywheel side of the case? What small engine v-twin if any is this build based on?

I don't think you need thick lube on piston and rings usually just a film of oil but not %100 sure
This engine may sit for a few weeks before it get ran and broken in. So the thick lube will stay in place. If I were assembling an engine thats was going straight into use I'd use a heave weight oil
This is gonna be a badass build. Are you running it on alcohol?
Also, have you done any work with opposed twins? I’m thinking about building a manifold and mounting a mikuni on mine.
Yes its will be on alcohol. Yes I've worked with opposing Briggs they are great engineers and a mikuni would be a nice carb on one.
