Another Kohler

[Rotore]

Found a 600cc kohler vtwin at the farmers market yesterday for 20 bucks my fellow karters its in pieces and i think i might still have the crank of my 725cc and since its the same block. how about we stroke it to a .7L

Here are some pix of most of the major parts i guess i have some questions if you guys dont mind?

*Pistons of the old kohler were outside in the shed since winter a bit of rust and dirt on them would it be safe to clean them up and use them same with crank?
*coil were basically submerged would they still work?
*the starter was also submerged still can be used, right?

here are some pix i wanna build this baby back to factory specs with some mods for rpm but nothing major. enjoy this build will be documented and posted...

bloody hell
that engine for $20
u can throw $150 of new parts into it and still be at a win
the crank looks good with a wire brush
d be tempted not to use pistons but hit it with a wire brush and remove what was the piston rings and it might be a differant story
the submerged parts should work
as long as the corrosion is removed

*update #1*

I finally got some time to myself this afternoon and cleaned up the pistons and the combustion chambers on the heads till my drill died (cheap battery) but yea i still need to seperate the pistons and rods but the clip were impossible and i need new a needle nose. but yeah its a start here are some pix. and i found my old 36" live axle in the shed

also ring grooves are a bit rust is there any type of solution i can soak the pistons in to remove it?
