This is why you dont wanna buy a Kohler Command horizontal engine. Mine just quit in 08 one day. I cranked it over and could tell there was no compression. Pulled the valve covers and no valve terrian movement. All this on a customers lawn mind you. Good thing she has a tractor, pulled it to the trailer, got it home and pulled the crankcase cover off. This is what I found. The crank gear, that runs the cam gear split, see the split on the right of the red cap? This gear is pressed on, no keyway. Other problem is no bearings for the crank or cam, just runs on aluminum. So why did the gear just split, know one knows. Put in a new $275.00 crankshaft, 6hrs later it let go again, this time the gear was ok, but the cam, because of wear on the cam shaft ends must have skipped a tooth or got crooked and broke. Broke the cam end, lost teeth on the cam and destroyed the new $275.00 crankshaft, teeth on the gear. Well I took the motor to the dealer and they really had no explanation why it let go, other than wear on the areas were the cam runs. Any way they gave me a short block for $900.00, $200.00 off the orginal price. At least they helped me out. But you can forget kohler horizontals for me again. The Kohler verticals still have bearings, or so I was told? J
