Hello I'm new to this forum..
I bought a cub cadet with a Kohler ch16 and i knew it was not running. The seller thought it needed an ignition coil. After getting it home and diagnosing a no start, i found that the rod snapped and took out the camshaft. I ordered everything for a rebuild, but I'm needing information on the cam shims.
I don't see a shim in the motor, but it's listed in the parts diagram on the Kohler parts website. There are actually about 7 different sizes of shims that can be purchased. I also don't understand how to measure the shaft end play because once you put the sump cover on, it's all sealed up and i can't see getting any kind of measurement device in there.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
