[QUOTE="Scott Cee, post: 134060, member: 23817"] To get it out doesn't take too long, I think it took me a week of evenings working on it and cleaning stuff as I went. You can have it out in about 4 hours if you know what you're doing. You can pull the head off with it in the machine, there is plenty of space. Also, you can take the valve cover off super easily (it's two hoses, 2 bolts, and you have to pop the cap off the distributor to get the wires out of the way), and that might tell you right away if one of the valves has dropped out. It's not an interference engine, so it would only be if a valve has lost its keeper and dropped completely. You also should be able to see that by looking in the #1 spark plug hole. I don't know if the repower kit is worth it or not. Certainly it makes it easy, since they include what you need. I would personally look at a Kubota or other small diesel now that I have the experience of hindsight. However, dropping in one of the air cooler small engines would make the machine a lot easier to work on and would get rid of a bunch of the other hard to find parts. I think the answer to this question would be based more on what you want the machine to do and how much you plan to use it. [/QUOTE]
