I got a friend in north east that all they do is turn cranks. If you want his info PM me and Ill send it to you.

Like matt said, Id put a new rod in. For what they cost, Id replace it. As far as kohler I think all you can get is standard or .010 under. I remember a long time back, I think it was David Kirk talking about the weight differance between kohler rods and Stens. I have built engs with both, and have had no problem with the stens. Maybe they offer differant under sizes.

Default building k241s

Well for anyone interested;
I managed to build one engine from all my miscellenious engine parts.
Now I can get my 102 running.

I still have another block and head, etc. O'Reilly Auto Parts says they can build up one of my bad cranks and turn it back to standard for $112, and get me a new rod from kohler for another $30, so with all the other stuff I would need it will cost around $300 to build another, still for a fresh k241 it may be worth it.

300 sounds a little low for piston rings, gasket kit and machining.

Default $300 Rebuild

Well the run down would be;
120 to rebuild crank
55 rings and piston
25 gasket set
30 new rod
20 used cam
30 used bearing plate
____
$280
with a few variables, 300 ought to be close

Depending on the rod and the oil pan that noise may have been the oil dipper snapping off!! If you run it like that you will have 4 bad cranks for sure.

Wow thats a good price then! But are you going to rebore the block? Be sure the throw side isnt egged shaped, if it is then youll end up rebuilding it again. Franks brother dose all our boring for us. He decks the blocks too in that price. Then we check and cut the seats if need be.

First of all, CHNY I already pulled the engine back apart, and fornd a little clip falling around inside, henceforth the tink, and I do have the right oil pan for the rod I am using.

Now Vince_O that price was determined from list prices at the local O'Reilly Auto Parts Store, and the ebay for the used parts.
The block I have doesn't need to be bored, and if it did I have my own boring bar.

I worked at a GM dealership when I was a kid, I also raced bracket cars back in the "70s" so I have alot of tools and stuff.

Cadet Farmer;
over and out

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.
