I have finally got the "new" k361 put into my Allis 718H.  There was shrouding missing an I had to build my own around the head.  How would I know if it is overheating?

I think harbor freight, and of course online, you could buy an infared temperature gun to get operating temperature.  I dont know for sure but I imagine those old single cylinders run between 220-230 degrees

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
