Default Locked up valve on K301

Here's one for everyone! I recently got a free K301 out of a 124. Now the tank had caught fire we think while they were filling it up running? There was gravel everywhere must have tried putting it out in the driveway! LOL Anyways cleaned it up pulled the head cleaned it still nice and tight clearance. But exhaust valve was stuck, after several coats of WD we got it free and clear. Reassembled hung gas tank from ceiling and swaped carb and condenser. Original points at this point. Checked timing with test light( learned that here super easy) and installed S/G fired up after 3 Cranks! Now install grass screen reinstall flywheel nut and note rest of shroud bolts! Toast take it down and swap it into 108 no problem. Hook wires and battery and crank kit over. It sounds like the rod is ready to come out the side and it isn't even firing yet! Thinking valve is jammed and maybe locking cam I roll it by hand, half way around it jams so tight had to use a bar to get it to go back other way! Short story, one bolt in the bottom of the shroud was just a little longer than should have been! Just when I was ready to snap goes to show u take 5 and come back to basics! LOL figured you guys would get a laugh out of this! Hell I did after I got done f bombing! LOL

Yes you gotta watch out for those longer bolts. it could have been worse, we had a guy at work put to long of a bolt in a distributer on a ford 8n and it resulted in a broken cam gear and camshaft.

LOL I kid you not it's maybe max an 1/8" but that's all it takes! Now on the Ford did it stick down thru and catch the gear? Ya could get expensive! But just stupid things when u start rushing, in my experience that's when u get burnt! LOL I have a block that needs bored out Id like to invest in a hone that is not spring loaded and try my hand at boring to next size! But have to price the hone and stones first! LOL thanks guys for making me feel a little better!

I'll save you the trouble.... A rigid hone costs as much as at least 4 bore jobs at a machine shop. Just take it somewhere. Besides..... you ever bore .010" with a hone? It takes all day. Your arm will get tired, and it won't be round and true. It can be done, but not well.

It's Sunnen. Sonnax makes transmission parts.

Yes, rigid hones are pricey. Check it out.

Goodson.com

And that is without stones and guides. You have to buy them separately.

There is a reason professionals use Sunnen but here is one I found I might look into more and see if it's worth a try? I know I have two blocks that need rebuild one is close other no way I can even attempt to cut like u said be a week to finish! If I was into pulling or something like that I probably would try but just talking now out my backside!

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.
