Keep in mind the Kohler motor has an ACR (Automatic Compression Release). That means the exhaust valve will be slightly open to help ease starting. Once engine is running, the exhaust valve closes fully. The big point is, don't go smacking down the exhaust valve with a hammer in attempt to close the valve fully. You can break the tangs if you're not careful.
