Engine rebuilds have seemed to be out of my league in the past, but on my current project (14hp Kohler) I decided to go for it. I farmed the machine work out, which turned out to be very reasonably priced. I've got the PDF of the Kohler shop manual and as someone mentioned, the tools required are not specialized, at least for the reassembly phase.
Think of this, once you do a proper motor rebuild, the machine might just outlast the owner.
