Kohler Command 22HP Engine issues

Post by alcodiesel »

I'm having more fun issues with the Kohler Command 22 HP engine in my CCC 3240. Last year it was frozen hydraulic lifters and bent push rods. I fixed that, and it ran great until I mowed for a couple of hours this year when it suddenly began smoking with an engine rattle. Turns out the valve spring keeper shattered and let the valve spring go ! How hard of a fix is this ? Do I need to remove the head ?
Tractor had fresh oil and the lifters/valves were well lubricated. Anyone else having this FUN problem ? A great tractor but I'm getting tired of these constant engine problems.

by putting air pressure in the cyl. it will hold the valves closed so you can work on the keepers
