Used to be you could go to the Kohler website and look up parts for any engine they ever made. Even if the parts weren't made any longer, at least you could get a part number. And it would show the previous parts that were equivalent, that had been superseded to that application, and also if there were any new numbers that came out after that version of a part. Back to when the parts had an "A" prefix etc.
Now a days you go to Kohler website and they take you to the plumbing side not the engines.
And when you do finally get to "Kohler engines", it's like a sales clinic on the current offerings ONLY. Like they never made a K series or a Magnum. even though those were the bread and butter, the very engines that gave kohler its reputation whose laurels the modern crap are falling back onto. but I could find nothing of parts lists for the K or the M series. What happened to putting in a part number and getting a list of engines that a given part would fit?
I bought a OEM genuine Kohler 0.010 under piston/ring set from EPay and when I saw the ad it was for the part number that I was looking for. But I went thru the checkout and the details of teh sale said I bought a different number, and i am trying to figure out if the one the sales detail says I bought is the same (but superseded version) as what I am after, the number that they say I bought does not come up in any search, of any kind, anywhere. and I asked before I bought, whether this was a genuine OEM Kohler piston and rings and they replied that yes it is.
