General cost to rebuild a M18
I put this in "general" because this engine isn't off of, and isn't destined for a Cub machine. I originally started this post at the end of the other recent M18 thread under "Kohler engines" but I didn't want to muddy the waters of that thread.
I just picked up a M18 via CL, at what I thought was "a too cheap to pass up" price" probably cost me about 2/3 in gas, what the guy wanted for this engine. He took it from a WH tractor when it started eating oil. Original owner of said WH machine. He repowered his tractor, with a brand of engine that I don't care for. He sold me this one for a whole $25. Said it was still running when removed, plan to try to fire it up and evaluate things before I tear it down. I want it as a backup engine for my snowblower tractor. but its KT19 is still holding its own, so I don't have to be in a hurry. Anyways I looked around on Feebay and didn't see a "kit" shown, like they sell for the cast iron singles. Am I going to have to buy pistons and gaskets piecemeal-style for this series of engine? I am going into this teardown expecting to have to take the jugs in to be bored, whole works. For purposes of this topic I am mostly interested in "parts" prices. As far as Kohler suffixes go, this is a M18 QS. I know that Q means "quiet model" but does that mostly pertain to the exhaust? In the singles, I thought the engines with a Q also had the grenade gears, or no? did any of the opposed twins have these?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
