Is the guy from Ohio in ebay still the best game in town on cast iron kohler parts? It's been a while since this has been brought up.
I have a k 301 from my cub 129 in the machine shop, got a call today with my needed sizes. 20 over piston 10 under rod.
I actually found a heckuva deal on an nos piston/rings, $50 shipped ... Cheaper than most aftermarket ones I found, but no such luck at the moment on the rod ..I got a rod coming from the guy in Ohio, "I don't want China!!!!!"
still need gaskets.
Put a note about that in with paying for the rod. See what he comes back with.
I didn't need valves as mine will clean up fine .. very little touch up on the valve grinder .. (I had 2 of these engines to build one good one from, took the best of all parts from between the two.) And I am suspicious of no name aftermarket points/ condenser and actually the ones from the engine at the machine shop were not that old. All stuff the Ohio guy usually "throws in".
