  1. Dear Sir/Madam,

    How do I change the oil pump on aKawasaki FH661V ? Can an guy with basic skills attempt it?

    Kind regards

    Stephen

  2. The convenience oil change device popped open while the engine was in use and drained the engine of oil. Engine seized up. Will a new crank shaft connecting rods and pistons fix it? Or is there likely crank shaft bearings or cylinder wall issues to deal with. I believe the cylinder walls are steel sleeve in these motors. 801 857 8126
