Most of us already do that on our cubs. Guess that is the downfall of having it as a hobby and not as a business, but I still enjoy it! As far as a rebuild, I had a k321 rebuilt with Kohler parts...new piston...rings....rod, but mine did not need a bore and my cost was a little over $300 for all the work done, except removal and re-install of the engine. Cost kind of depends on their hourly labor charge. I know one place that is $40/hr and another that is $90/hr.....but the $90/hr is a JD place and I can't afford their fool's gold. My balance gears were laying in pieces in the oil pan so they cleaned all of my engine to remove any particles that got loose. I would recommend that you remove your balance gears if that hasn't been done already. There may be just a little bit more of a vibration, but the pros outweigh the cons in my opinion. Hope this info helps you out.
