New Motor or Rebuild?

Hi,

New to the forum. Recently bought pk 2414 with bad motor. Motor blew up and damaged cylinder wall below where the piston would travel. Left a small crack in the wall. Can't seem to find a pk k321 for anything I can afford around here soooo I guess my options are rebuild the motor I have or go with a k321 that does not have the pk "collar". What do you guys recommend? I don't really think the crack would bother but am a little worried about heat and not too worried about not having the collar but do not want to take out the clutch either. Consider any input a help. Thanks.

Hi,

I would keep your current block and consider having it sleeved.

In my region it costs around $100 to have a Kohler sleeved. They bore the cylinder oversized and press a steel liner(sleeve) into the block. This will take the bore back to a standard size if desired.

I have a block that has the same damage that I'm keeping that will require sleeving.

Good luck.
