Ok, I posted months ago about overhaul z134 4cl gas. I split the tractor, engine on a stand and now disassembled. The teeth on timing gears very worn and several had fractured off.
A few questions:
1. When I pulled timing cover, ten steel ball bearings fell out. I don't see mention of them in manual, where did they go?
2. Does anyone have a recommendation for the exact overhaul manual to buy for this engine.? I have one from a CD, but it seems to leave out some stuff....such as these bearings.
3. Is it cheaper to buy new camshaft or just have the old one ground? Crank?
4. Found a 3in magnet in bottom of oil pan, was this to collect pieces of metal? Was this standard or did someone drop it in?
Taking the block to be cleaned and checked. Never done an overhaul so having a good time and learning a bit. Thanks for any help you can provide.
