Depending on the shop, they can either order will fit parts or give you the option of ordering genuine Kohler parts and bringing the parts to them. We never order anything until the machine shop is done machining. Maybe they need .01, maybe it takes .030 to clean something up.

The farthest that I have gone so far is just to take the piston out, I haven't gone into taking the gears, crankshaft, valves, etc out.
Torque wrench I do have, the rest of the tools, doubtful. I will check with the machine shop on Monday or so to see what they say about parts.
