Don't order parts until you have had a chance to pull that motor apart and correctly inspect and measure with the right tools the size of the bore and the size of the crank pin to know how much needs to be removed. With that said, I think I had maybe $200 in parts for the K301 in my 128. I replaced the valve guides, valves, rod, piston and all the gaskets. Do make sure you get a Kohler head gasket. The after market ones will not last at all. They don't usually have the fire ring that the Kohler gasket has. I also tossed the cheap aluminum oil pan and ordered a good cast iron oil pan. Carb kit, new governor gear and governor bushing.
