Block work??
Hey guys, I'm rebuild a k301. I just completed the manual resurfacing of the head to get it dead flat. What I just discovered is the block seems to be warped, I assume this is because the engine was ran hot quite a few times prior to my a quiting it. I know a couple of you are expert machinists. Before I get stupid and take the side grinder to it, is there a way to flatten the block surface. With tools I have at home?; I can't afford a machine shop right now..

I just did mine using the glass and sandpaper trick-good way to build up the forearms, that block is heavy.

How did you determine the block is warped? I'm sure you could straighten it up the same way as the head but its gonna take a while since its cast iron.

I would be Leary working it back forth on a piece of glass !!
maybe a surface plate but your still going to get some rocking. So much easier to put it on a B'port and take a small fly cut off the surface. taking as little as it takes to make it flat, the littler the better. Like others, how do you know it is not reasonably flat? only real way is indicate it, or use a surface plate.

Now that your head is reasonably flat, set the head on the block and just start
a couple of bolts to make sure it's sitting in the right place. Take a .003 or so feeler guage and find where the high and low parts are. Then take a large file and start hitting the high spots. Be careful, I am always leary of telling people things that require some touch cause I don't know their ability

Mine had been run a while with blown gasket, checked using a straight edge.'Yeah the block tries to rock but some oil on the paper helps a lot.

If you have a large honing stone I would run that over the block to knock off any "blisters" around the holes. Then set the now polished and presumably flat head on the block and check with feeler gauges as already suggested. Then if it is not flat you can figure out what to do next.

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.
