I have in stock, the made in USA, billet exhaust headers to fit the new K45 engines. They are $35.00 and available in 10 degrees and 15 degrees.

They also fit most 45 size engines.

Al, what is the difference between this header and the AA 45 header? Will the AA45 header work on the K45 engine?

 

[Al Hobbs]

It is the same header. The A/A 45 header should work on all 45 size engines.

I just received another shipment of K45 marine engines from Ukraine.

Complete engine less carb.

Price remains the same, $385.00 plus shipping.

I hope to get a prototype example of a K21 marine engine in March or April. I am optomistic, but I'm also keeping my fingers crossed.

I did not like the carburetor that the manufacturer produces for the K45, so I'm bringing them in without a carb. The carb size neck should be 15mm. I'm using a Rod Geraghty carb made for a Picco 45. Some people are getting carbs from Speedmaster.

Yes, Harry makes a great carb for the NR46DD....We bought 2 when Dale was running them, standard bore and large bore.

Al, regarding your new K engines, are they ready to go out of the box, or do they need any finishing work, other than typical sleeve deburring?...does Anatoly do your P&L's, and if so, is he doing the high quality P&L fit and final finish hone?....his work on his CMB P&L's is extraordinary - you can't get as good of a finish honing with the Sunnen P-180 Honall as Anatoly can.

Thanks-

Tim

I would never start up any new engine without first disasembly and inspection. That being said, the fit and finish on the K45 is exceptional and I have found no shavings or burrs to remove in the engines I checked.

Anatoly did a lot of work for my A/A 45 kit engines and is helping with my A/A 21 Pro engines. He was not involved in the manufacture of the K45, although he and the manufacturer are friends.

Right, that's what I was alluding to, the kit engines you mentioned way back at the beginning of your venture.

I'm with you prechecking and adjusting all fitments.

Thanks

Not the ones I've seen come to the States, David...they were perfectly honed and fitted for price indicated.

I just received a CMB V5 PS SET from Anatoly and the 2 included pistons are perfectly matched to the sleeve. When I corresponded with Anatoly there was no conversation about piston liner fit.
