Well I'm think I'm gonna risk it, as it would require splitting the cases back down.

Could be wrong but I think, the only gov. problem they had is mentioned in the service bulletin I sent along.
Do remember to re torque the heads after it comes up to temp,-- full operating temp--HOT!
or you will replace the head gaskets. BTDT
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.
