Re: Kohler k321 static timing.
Well that could be Dave. The rod broke because the oiler hole to the crank was not pointing to the cam. Just hard to say what was done to the engine over its life time. Never thought of that breaking the key, when it stopped working. I did think the flywheel could be on wrong thou. But it did run before breaking the rod. The points, when I first started at this foolishness, were set wide. I’d say about 0.030. And like I say, it was running to break the rod.

I have always found , that when ever you have a situation where you you just can't get something adjusted to start checking all related components. As always let us know what you find .Propane57 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 7:49 am Well that could be Dave. The rod broke because the oiler hole to the crank was not pointing to the cam.

Re: Kohler k321 static timing.
So of course I had no puller. It’s at my sons place. so I try the old three screw driver pry trick. Might have worked but got thinking. Found other small wrong puller and rigged it up. Didn’t take long to get the flywheel off. Thought it would have been harder because of the sheared key. Any way. It’s off, but !

Re: Kohler k321 static timing.

Re: Kohler k321 static timing.
Others may know better but I once glued a spark plug in the engine after it got spit out because some genius torqued it too much and broke the threads. With jb weld and it lasted another month until I fixed the thread. It was on a crown vic who did not mind running on 7 cylinders only. I know if no better glue for metal to metal.
