First thing, been a 2-3 year project.
Started back assembling the engine back together and got it back together and I found these on the bench, can not find anywhere they go or the name or purpose of these, been through the manual ten times still can’t find any info.
thanks

Welcome aboard. How about a little background? If that engine is from a Kubota tractor, i'd say that part is off something else; it wouldn't be that color.

I believe you should have four of those. They go in the water passage of the cylinder head.

I would also suggest leaving this gear on the bench. OUCH!

It will run till it overheats and cracks the head.
I would bite the bullet and pull it apart and replace them.

They still use that part on newer engines so it works for its use!

Ok good deal, if you think I should get new ones could you send me part number, my Kubota dealer couldn’t find them when I was there trying to find where they go
