You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
I can't see the forest for the trees.

a little smoke now and then but with the amount of use its had over the years would be my reason for a rebuild............Geno wrote: Is it using oil or knocking Nappy? Timing it isn't that hard.

Use and years doesn't matter much on an engine that's took care of. My 414 is a year newer than yours with prob over twice the hours but it doesn't need a thing. If it ain't broke don't fix it lol.

The supervisor is who we call Big John around here lol, I told Philip all about him. He is around 6'5", lives about 30 mins away and has been working on Kohlers about as long as I've been alive I think. He is retired now and comes over to have fun and teach me a thing or two. A manual can only teach so much, these men know things that no one will ever know if it's not passed down.

Figured it was something like that, always listen to the old timers.
