I was going to adjust the valves on my Kohler CV 23, but when I took off the cover I realized there is no adjustment for the valves...... or I'm just missing it.
Looking at this rocker set up I noticed that there is a space between the rocker and the where the stud goes into the head , this might be like the old Chevy small blocks where the adjustment is in the rocker it self by tightening down the rocker stud nut till you have zero lash on the the push rod ,PS also known as a floating rocker design . Just google adjusting Chevy small block valves for reference .
Adjust? You don't. Need head rebuild. Pull the head and re-seat the valve seats if needed with a peen-in, then re-lap the valves/grind the stems to fit again.
@@dougdoesstuff24 I'm a small engine tech. These kohlers have hydraulic lifters. You don't need to adjust the valves. That happens automatically. It sounds like you need to remove the head and lap the valves.
Your engine is equipped with hydraulic lifters. There is no valve lash adjustment.

Define leaky. What’s leaking? Air? Oil? Gas?
Air escaping through carb during leak down test
