Putting the K241 back together
Hello friends, I want to start a thread to cover the many questions I will have about putting my Kohler K241 Engine back together. I got it back yesterday from the machinist, who completed the cylinder boring .10 over, valve seat reconditioning and installation of new valve guides. He really took a lot of care to insured that the cylinder bore and valve guides would be right for the new piston and valves, which he asked to have on hand for the work. He also cleaned up the surface that the head gasket sits on and also pointed out that the intake flange for the carburetor was not as smooth as it should be and that I should use a sealant with the gasket when I attach the carb back on. Anyway, the first question I have is about painting the engine fins. I have read that a lot of people think that it is not a good idea to paint them, but man are they rusty. I really think they need something. I planned on using Rust Check Rust Converter to prep the fins and then a good quality flat black heat paint spray bomb to finish it off. Input would be appreciated.

Did they not tank the block before the machine work?
They should have been clean if they did. I would not paint the fins or the head if it is going to be put into normal use. A trailer queen, maybe but not a worker.

It was thoroughly cleaned. Also, I should have clarified that I am only going to paint the fins on the cylinder jug with flat black heat paint, not the head. Oh yeah, it is definitely going to be a worker.

OK, I'm making a little progress and this is the first time around doing a rebuild. If anyone sees anything wrong in these pictures from today, please point it out to me. First, pressed in the main bearing into the block and then got the governor shaft in place.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
