Default k241 question
Hey guys I have a k241 that is smoking. I am very new to engine work, I usually get someone else to do that. I want to start getting some experience working on them. I got some telescoping gauges and I have a Caliper. The bore at the widest point measured 3.268. Where do I go from here. Keep in mind I am new at this, I want to learn and I have access to about anything that I would need to do the job. If I need a machine shop I know someone.

Thanks!!

3.254 is the max wear for std. size. you are .014 over. Depending on what the out of round was (difference in 2 measurements 90 degrees to each other) youll need to go at least .020 over. You are for sure going to need the machine shop so id take it there have them measure it and tell you if you need .020 or .030. My guess is its not much more than .003-.004 out of round so worst case youd be at .018 and a .020 would still do it.

So you are going to need a new piston, rings, gasket set, and connecting rod. You need to measure the crank too to see if its worn as you may need a .010 undersized crank and have that ground down at the machine shop.

My guess is you are going to have about $100-$150 in machine work and another $150-200 in parts to do it right.

Caliper is not accurate way to measure . Go to a machine shop it is free.

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.
