He said something about the balance gears being removed from the engine to prevent future damage from failure? I'm not sure what these gears do?
The "theory" of the Kohler Balance Gears was to "smooth the vibrations out". As these gears wear, they also can cause vibration and can ultimately lead to an internal crankcase implosion. Thus, most people take them out. It it cheaper to put up with a little vibration, verses pay for a massive overhaul.
