Darn fine idea, Thanks!

Be advised when that series of engine is hot, as in after a mowing, it will have a "valve clatter" and you'd swear they are set too loose.
IIRR I saw it in a service bulletin that,
the later Kohlers, changed the valve angle from 45* to 30* and they have a different cam ## but I don't know if it was to help the clatter or other reasons I've not been able to determine.
On the filter location, I chose to retain the one on the block:
#1, because i didn't have a remote setup,
and #2, I couldn't decide where I wanted it mounted remotely.

No I did not see anything in the service manual about retorguing when hot? So just leave the tins off, for the first mow?
Yeah, now I'm wishing I would have gotten the adater, to mount the filter on the block. Hindsight is 20/20.
