How To EASILY Do A Valve Job On A Kohler Magnum 20 Engine

In "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished", Taryl goes over the long and lengthy process it takes to do a valve job on this Kohler Magnum 20 engine. This is the engine on Taryl's "Mow Tow" lawn mower tow vehicle. Last week he rebuilt the carb and now he's on to a valve job. Prior to and after the fix, Big Grandma D accuses Taryl and Junior of swapping out her mower for a different one. She even attempts legal action! See how it all plays out in another funny yet informative how-to video from your buddies at Grass Rats Garage! And you know what time it is, time for dinner!! And There's Your Dinner!!

Taryl's Videos, 99.9 % better than what is on cable tv.

Exactly

[@themowerman]

Yeah

[@MikeyOwnz]

[@truthhunter5195]

100%

[@skyartrc8286]

Yep

[@jimg8218]

Need to see more bloopers, FUNNY

[@dano5814]

when ronnie first showed up i knew he was going over the fence again

[@cashen7384]

Its hilarious I laugh to myself every time he gets tossed over lol

[@paulg444]

When he says "this isnt the space shuttle, its an old lawn mower" no matter how many times I hear him say it, I laugh out loud ever time.. Its the gift that keeps giving !

[@godfellas483]

It's good to learn from a pro who literally knows it all from experience. I love how you retrofit fuel pumps and other brand mufflers (muffkin's) that are cheaper and easier to replace than OEM high dollar parts. Keep up the great work!

[@pyromedichd1]

I think if I had it torn down that far I would have gone ahead and replaced the rings. Good job in any case! Thanks for the video.

Another GREAT production from Mr. Dactyl and his VERY talented boys. Y'all are the best!! Thank you again for educating and entertaining me fellas.

Lol Funny stuff

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I've had 2 and that's 9 too many.

[@BrianHoff04]

I learn a lot watching Taryl and appreciate the time they spend filming, editing... can't beat it. But he doesn't mind working on stuff while the dirt & grime are still on it. My OCD requires that I clean all this away before I start wrenching. Not sure why... it just drives me nuts thinking all this gunk is falling into places I want to be clean. Just a thing with me.

[@truthhunter5195]

We're also what happens if you want to eat some pork rinds in your hands have all that Gunk on it and I don't know I like using gloves although I get the real cheap ones and they are all the time so my hands get dirty anyways

[@27neverlose]

TARYL YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER...... I HAD TO DO THIS EXACT JOB, AND DID IT WITH NO PROBLEM BECAUSE OF YOUR VIDEO..... THANK YOU SIR.

[@dnlmachine4287]

LOL 51:53 over the fence like classic SCTV. The use of dummies (tee-hee) in film is an art form. Taryl nailed it. Stay gold.

[@hunter7476]

Thanks taryl love it I have to adjust the valves on my Kohler magnum 18 in a cub cadet and another one the same engine

[@charger19691]

Taryl really knows his stuff. Outstanding mechanic!

[@texasdoug1273]

That was a lot of work on the old engine. Enjoyed seeing the grinding machines in action. Excellent video, as usual.

[@josephtaverna1287]

Great video taryl you are the man stay safe my friend God bless you and your family

[@themowerman]

Well said

Always loved it when movies would show the outtakes - lets the viewer know that shooting a movie doesn't always go as planned! "Hope I didn't wrinkle your Lawsuit!" Haha! Good stuff...

I've got my 301 cast iron K and my Vanguard 1/2 VW motor. Both are #1! And I use grease on gaskets when I need help. GOOD video.

Thanks for the video Taryl. Had to the same on mine today. Keep up the good work

[@ralphwatten2426]

Great fun on a Covid Sunday morning. Thanks Taryl.

[@donaldnorris5659]

I have found the use of guide bolts very helpful when installing things with gaskets and such. It's like having the third hand.

You got that old beast purring like a kitten. I wouldn't have seen it if I didn't believe it :-)

[@mikenike776]

i have a mv18s and i always thought it was sorta noisy/ticky now that ive heard yours with a fresh valve job be kind of noisy im more comfortable about the slight ticking noise it makes its a super healthy engine good compression

[@michaelglynn2638]

Air travel's picking up again, especially for Ronnie!😆 Nice job, sounds good now. Thanks all👍

[@blookenbill94]

i whole heartedly appreciate this video, thank you

[@silverbullet3968]

Yes, I do actually have a valve grinder at home. 😂 But awesome video as usual. Currently binge-watching them all

Good stuff to learn from and fun at the same time.... Thanks from Sweden...

[@roscoe454]

bloopers are great at the end..should put them in your shows lol

[@Fatamus]

I really like your new black and red pirate logo. The stickers makes my truck look cool and I see you have the logo on your T-shirts too - I gotta get me one of them.

[@moondogdieselworks3883]

You sir, is definitely smarter than you look. Love your videos and willingness to do things right.

[@huntnfishnuts5880]

Nice miniature valve compressor, also a handy valve spring tool, it works the same as a GM door spring tool.

[@towerjokey]

Love the out takes at the end of the video.

Funny outtakes...Great video. I think you need to make a BEST Montage of your Skits.

[@Slowpoke5055]

Thank You Taryl

[@ihus9950]

Great Video, and great job on the Kohler👍

[@jaryljackderriere1232]

Nice to see how those old Krohler valves work. Even nicer to see Ronnie thrown over the fence.

[@antoniomarc7174]

The end lmfao 😂

[@milkman44107]

I have a Troy-Bilt Gtx16 with a Briggs Vanguard 16 v-twin and a Troy-Bilt gtx20 with a Magnum M20QS. The Magnum is so much smoother and quiet running compared to the Vanguard 16. I know the Vanguard is supposed to be more efficient and better overall. However, the Magnum runs much better in my opinion.

[@michaelburton5760]

awesomeness as always

[@madmattsbucketlist385]

Taryl, just watched Gary on Scrap it Man. Just to let you know i've subscribed. Looking forward to watching your videos. Cheers.

[@ronwhite6719]

That was great! Especially the bloopers. Hahahaha

[@truthhunter5195]

LOL I totally have customers like that though man completely unreasonable.. Especially the part about giving them something for free and then they complain like they're entitled that's always entertaining.

[@jonbarfield4915]

For those who don't know why the valves was that bad is the vent tube was off. With the vent tube off ,allowed unfiltered in the engine. Looking at the intake it looks it is sandblasted.

[@safetyharborfirearms]

Ronnie gets another flying lesson.....he never learns. Good info on the Kroler ;-)

[@jerrbear3017]

cool info !!! thanks !!!!!

Do you not resurface the Valve Seats? Before setting clearance of course. Looks like something leaking (fuel)? at 46.00

[@sidallen685]

With the amount of work there is do on these old Kohler’s just for a valve job, the customer would have really saved money by rebuilding the complete engine.🛠

[@kevinkee3072]

Watching your video in Indianapolis

[@zinnstigertownmowers780]

Love this skit lol

[@silverbullet7434]

Those krolers were one of there best engines , after the cast iron block K91 on up to there highest hp . I had the 20 on a dixie chopper when they first came out. Ran it hard for ten years and only had oil n filter changes there times a season and new blades every year. Id say it did well while I was doing our church property of 5acres. May still be in use j. Good engines..

[@silverbullet7434]

Three times a season not there....

[@zlindauer5315]

tayrl, how do you like that lil 1/4 battery ratchet? love your videos, appreciate all ive learned from ya!

[@skycarl]

Good blooper stuff.

[@sampasch3381]

My great uncle bought onwe of those aftermarket pumps for a k series engine and it won't hold pressure. After it sits a few hours it loses all prime. He ended up using a boat primer bulb.

[@mcarroll598]

When I worked in a mower shop years ago, we did many valve jobs on a lot of L-head engines, and always cut the seat down with a NEWAY seat cutter. Just curious why he dosent use one? When doing valve jobs on L-heads.

[@themowerman]

Yo yo when doing up the head bolts if u find the paperwork is upside down just stand on your head. Problem sorted.. good one mate

[@Dstromb232]

I have a Magnum and it is not a mower! Nice video!!

[@Jayf1981]

Taryl's off his game, I hope he doesn't bring down the "space shuttle"

[@Fatamus]

I heard he has a tooth ache

[@TheClampettmobile]

What is the DeWalt battery operated tool you're using? 3/8" drive impact?? Thanks.

[@SycoticGarage]

Help me taryl the one your my only hope... I am in desperate need of a valve refacer I had one for years I think it was a rotary 1726.. I know stens and Oregon both had the same unit but it must have been discontinued mine finally bought the farm.. I've tried propartsdirect and several other suppliers and no one has them . thought I might give the small engine guru a shot.. Thanks Mr. Dactyl👍

[@waltcrawford6153]

Have you tried gasgacinch gasket sealer, it's much better than permatex? It would be good to see a comparison on an episode.

[@tkskagen]

How about a "Complete Rebuild" of this Kohler Magnum M18/20... Maybe a "Complete Rebuild" of an Onan P220 on a SEARS FF20! I've been having problems with the Hydraulic 3-Point System...😿 Take care Taryl, 🤓 -Thomas Port Orchard, WA (Just West of Seattle, Washington)

[@leemer1]

Would have liked to seen the before and after compression numbers to see how much difference it made.

[@leemer1]

Uh..no...I want to know how much higher compression bump a valve job does.

[@mikehrdlicka8635]

On ford fe valve height matters. The old days 60s 70s refresh 6 and v8s. Nasty engines with oil of those days.

[@rverro8478]

Jorgenstein's air fuel mixture didn't hit, the sweet spot...Not enough air.

[@J.R.in_WV]

You should do a gag where you and JR. open a lawnmower daycare center and Ronny shows up , wacky stuff happens then he gets arrested because he’s not allowed within 5 miles of a daycare due to a past “incident”. That would be hilarious
