Kohler Engine Teardown and Crankshaft Mods,

I was given a bunch of junked kohler 2 cylinder command engines and we were able to save one, lets take the rest of what was left and see if we can connect the two crankshafts together making a v4 engine,

[@cbobwhite5768]

Confused. Would it have not been better, to bore a 7/8" hole in the crankshaft and insert the drill stub. Then key the crankshaft and connector hub?

[@timareno9017]

Awesome video. Love the ingenuity with coming up with solutions. After welding the shaft you could always turn it down to remove run-out. Looks like a powerful design. Anxious to see how it works out. Thanks

[@daleburrell6273]

...it's better to use a coupling-(!)

[@gispel7058]

3 jaw chucks often have less accuracy than a collet . I will reposition the piece in the three jaw ...until the optimum true position is found.

[@andrewwakefield4519]

As someone who is a machinist, albeit of the experienced hobbyist variety … this was painful to watch. 6 thou of runout on a crankshaft? Chipped brazed carbide cutting tool?? Chatter from an unsupported shaft a mile out of the chuck??? Welding a high carbon steel with no preheat???? Grinding and sanding grit all over the lathe ways????? Let me hasten to say that I am no great shakes as a mechanic, and you have taught me a ton about small engines! And your final result seems to be working well despite my machinist horror!

[@busterdee8228]

You sure know your way around those. I like the compact design. I was working at my dad's gas station when a carload of young women pulled in with a Canadien Pontiac (Chevy running gear). They asked why the car wouldn't go over 20. I asked if they had done anything to it around that time. 'No. Oh, we had trouble filling the transmission.' Where did you check it? They point to the tranny dipstick. What was the trouble? It didn't seem to fill up. [long pause] Oh, where were you filling it? They point to the engine filler cap. After draining 22 quarts of fluid from the engine (and doing an oil change), I assured them that their tenacity just turned the engine into a pump that was running too slowly to hurt itself. Seals were still fine, and the engine was now VERY clean. I suggested they not do that again.

Mustie, you've taught me EVERYTHING I know about working with small engines. So much so that I've made it my mini retirement business. But what you were doing with the lathe had me squirming in my chair. Like listening to a dental drill in the waiting room. 😮

[@ericnelson6982]

I was thinking maybe you could drill the crankshaft. Then insert the piece of drill bit into the crankshaft to center it and also add some strength when it is welded.

[@gregholloway2656]

Absolutely. I kept telling Darren to pilot the 1/2” drill shank into the end of the crank, but he wasn’t listening 😂. Ensures concentricity and improves strength. The steady rest would have held the outboard end of the crank true as well.

[@jontebos7290]

i was hoping for that as well..😅

[@thomasflynn5366]

I was literally yelling this. I thought he had it when he held it up that way before cutting it.

[@ramblingman8992]

Exactly. Drill and tap end of crankshaft, then turn down and thread the end of the drill bit. Use loctite to stop everything coming loose during final assembly and job's a good 'un as they say.

[@bobuilt10]

[@jamesw9930]

Yeah, Kurt is probably the best machinist / equipment mechanic on YT.

[@AllThingsMech]

Great vid as usual, Mustie...but brother, you absolutely have to support something as long as a crankshaft from both ends when turning it on a lathe - either with a live center in the tailstock, or on one of the bearing journals with a steady rest (if you have roller bearing fingers on the rest, of course). It's much safer for you, and that 10 thou of runout very well may have been corrected completely with both ends supported. It would've gone a long way in reducing the chatter too, along with some better HSS tooling rather than carbide. Anyway, no more soapbox preaching from me lol, just something to think about for next time.

[@unokarpa4405]

I enjoy watching these rebuilds or tear-downs of Kohler engines. I have a horizontal shaft Kohler engine that I wanted to put into a Yamaha golf cart that has been sitting since the plandemic. Just waiting for me to start on it. The videos here help me, because its all a mystery on what goes on in there. I think now that I'm seen a few I know that they gas should stay hooked to the governor so it doesn't blow when someone else drives it. The clutch is all that is needed to fit on crank shaft. A belt goes from there to the transmission on the back wheels. I think I would be in business. If I made videos about some of the stuff I do I think it would be entertaining. A lot of trouble shooting with very little MacGyvering. Sometimes. Anyhow, I think I might get that running before the end of summer now. Wish me luck. And thanks for your help and inspiration.

[@danpags7023]

I would love to have a stash pile like yours. I noticed you were channeling your inner Curtis from CEE.. lol.

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

In many cases you can scrub the carbon ring off the top of the cylinder and then use a large Shop Vac hose on top of the piston to pull it out.

[@octane613]

Yeah but we all wanted to see inside the case anyway.

[@darronsargent3956]

Wonderful video! Something that helps me contain a mess is setting the engine on a large cookie sheet while I'm tearing it apart. Then you can just dump into a bucket and it doesn't go all over the table

[@TDOBrandano]

I wonder if it would have been easier to just drill a socket into the crankshaft for a solid shaft to fit in

[@tmscheum]

Curtis at Cutting Edge Engineering would use a boring bar to do just that. Have seen him do re-rods on hydraulic cylinders for big Cat dozers and excavators. Slides it in and welds it up.

[@echobeefpv8530]

[@briantaylor9266]

Thanks for your videos. I'm not a machnist either. I would have taken a slightly different approach to extending that crank shaft, but your way got the job done too.

[@stanwooddave9758]

STEADY-REST 101-1 As a GENERAL RULE OF THUMB, three times the diameter of the material stick-out from the chuck-jaws, you should start to consider using either a "FOLLOW-REST," (has two points of support on the material) or a "STEADY-REST," (has three points of support on the material.) Assuming that both your "FOLLOW-REST" & your "STEADY-REST," have roller (bearings) at the end of the arm(s), that touch's / come's in contact with the material, you adjust up until the bearing is just starting / or is turning consistently. DO NOT CRANK DOWN ON THE ADJUSTMENT. You want to be just-touching the Material. Same if your arms / contact points don't have roller-bearings, but are factory - cast steel / iron. I would recommend brazing the ends so as to have say 1/16" in. thick brass contact between the metal in the metal -lathe that is turning, and the adjustable arm. WHY? Because the brass is a softer metal, and won't Gaul the surface of the material, being turned. Plus some oil at the contact point(s), and well Bob"s your uncle.

[@CharredSteak]

You're absolutely spot on, 180 degree crank offset is basically as smooth as you can get with a V4. Also has the perk of sounding like a mini-V8!

[@WayneT51]

G'day D man, greetings from down under. 🇦🇺 I do like the way your mind works. Can't wait to see how the 2 engines run together. As a side, I love the sound of your lathe, sounds like it's running on steam,😂 perhaps the gearbox needs some work?

[@vettekid3326]

As a former machinist that used to machine hardened material normally you would use ceramic inserts to cut it but since you were just cutting on the shank of the drill where it is not as hard as the cutting end you can and get by with just using carbide.

[@jonathanbuck6526]

Great idea, but Musties lathe is a bit under powered for indexable carbide inserts, you need at least 10 hp for those.

[@Mad-Duk_Machine_Werkes]

I was a head Mechanic/Shop Supervisor for a rather large Tree and Lawn Service in a former life. Lawn mowers quite often slide off a steep ditch, or into a water trap on a golf coarse, or off a sea wall into a lake or ocean. I'd say that second motor went swimming and they swapped it out under warranty or just because it was high-ish hours anyways- The watery oil- the White corrosion inside all the cyl fins, and MASSIVE rust and shit fucked up under the cast iron flywheel is the main suspects

[@Mad-Duk_Machine_Werkes]

Drill Bit TIPS are hard, the other end that you chuck on called the shank is SOFT the GIBS on the cross slide of your old tired lathe are loose as hell, you need to adjust the allen screws and get that tighter, also looks like the tool height was too high

[@Ed-G]

Interesting video for Sunday morning. I'm surprised when you were attaching the second part of the coupler you didn't put the coupler in the oven and the shaft and the freezer to give you a little bit more tolerance. I did that pressing in a bearing on a motorcycle engine. Put the case in the oven and the bearing in the freezer. I was 12 working with dad and mom was not home😁

[@jamesbubnick]

Usually I love the Mustie1 videos but for some reason I can see 2 good engines turning into scrap..I hope not but the coupler seems really undersized, it looks like the coupler is 3/4 of an inch and I think the original output shaft is 1-1 1/4" that's a huge loss of material to transfer power.

[@robertschmidt6383]

I mean no disrespect cuz your a hell of a mechanic. I had to chuckle when you were trying to center that drill rod on the motor shaft. I telling myself he should cut the rod to match the center hole on the shaft. It would center itself then .Also use a flat push block on the live end instead of a drill chuck. Those drill clamping shafts can bend and be out of round. Just some thoughts. Also use a calipers to measure on a lathe. Makes life so much easier.

[@Young937phoenix]

You should reall power wash stuff off b4 u go tearing it apart to get everything off case b4 u go tearing it apart and you would end up seeing more stuff wrong or just have a clean engine to work with it take 5 min to blow it off with water pressure.

When looking for the shaft to fit those coupler pieces, I was thinking that maybe some cut-off engine shafts would do the job, not entirely sure how strong a drillbit is under that kind of duty, given they're known to snap like glass if they're flexed or twisted too much... :S

Couldn’t you drill into the centre of the crank shaft and slot the drill bit into that. Then weld around the edge? That would centre it?

That crossslide and/or compound slide on your lathe needs the gib/gibs tightened up by the looks of it. And the saddle even. Basically check all the gibs. Also if you had welded on an oversized piece to begin with and then turned it down to size you would avoid all runout problems and pulling due to welding. Love seeing you get into a bit of machining. It'll really open doors for the stuff you are into. I remember that mill/lathe you had. Haven't seen that thing in a while.

when stationary engines run big end bearings they coat the steel crank with alloy(aka the rod) to fix the crank 9/10 you put hydrochloric acid onto the alloy thats on the crank and it eats(melts) the alloy, and turns the crank to a like new condition, i did that method to a few engines in my time, where car engines ran the bearing from low oil and ate into the bearing, i put the acid on the journals and melted the alloy from the crank, brake cleaned it then polished it then brake cleaned it again cleaned it installed new big end bearings torqued it up and replaced oil filter and they are still running to this day

[@stanwooddave9758]

Hello Mustie-1. Did you hear about all those 101 machinist jumping off the Empire State Building, in New York, after shouting from the roof-top "STEADY-REST," where in the hell is your "STEADY-REST." They ALL jumped OFF, after you used a "CAST-STEEL" part as a Pin Gauge(s) - Dimensional Measurement tool. In case you don't know, a machinist "PIN-GAUGE SET," generally starts at 1/16" in. (0.0625" in.) Diameter and increase in size by approx 1/16" in. up to 1/2" in. (0.5000" in.) Diameter. Tolerance 0.0001-0.0002 (one, to two ten-thousandths of an inch) FYI some sets start @ 1/2" in. and go up to 1.0000" in. They also come in metric as well. I'm not a "machinist per say," but I do as a welder have a small desktop mill and a 20" in. Swing Metal Lathe. The mere fact you used a 3-jaw chuck, indicates you were willing to dwell in the being off from as little as 0.008" in. TIR (TOTAL INDICATED RUN-OUT) to as high 0.020" in. TIR. Use either a (machined) shoulder bolt, say with 1/4" threads up the bolt, than a "Machined" surfaced say 3/4" in. long. To test the run-out of your chuck. You know, the single bolt that costs say $5.00 (five-dollars) for a single bolt, or maybe you have taken something apart, and was wondering why the obviously tapered pin was so shiny and smooth. You could use a machined tapered pin to check your three-jaw chuck run-out. Don't expect it to be on the money. The real question would be how far out, of T-I-R, is out. Now if you really wanted to keep your Total Indicated Run-out, to a minimum, say 0.001 to 0.002 at most, you would have used a four-jaw-chuck. Do they make an adjustable three-jaw-chuck, to keep the run-out to such a low tolerance? Why yes they do, but I would HIGHLY recommend that you take some heart medication first, before inquiring as to price. I would expect say a 3"in. to 4" in. adjustable three-jaw-chuck to commend a price of say between $400.00 (four-hundred) to $600.00 (six-hundred) dollar's. FYI, the bigger the adjustable three-jaw-chuck, the bigger the price. Welcome to the heart-attack price zone. DON'T ask about six-jaw metal-lathe chucks, unless you have already taken a double dose of your heart medication. FYI, most drill-bit's, the butt end (the part held in the drill-chuck) is a soft metal. That's why you see some bit's with chewed up marks on them. TESTING HARDNESS -101-1, simply use a metal file, if it leaves a mark by filing say with two - four ounces of pressure, the metal is soft. If the file SKATES ACROSS the metal, and doesn't leave a mark, your dealing with some serious (ROCKWELL-HARDNESS of 86 and above) hardness.

Looks like you're using my trick. I've got 3 or 4 impact drivers or drills set up, for working on my bike motors, all with different size sockets on them. Including 2, 1/2 inch impact wrenches. Instead of switching out sockets, I just grab the tool, with the right size on it. steve
