My Lazer Z LZ23KC604 with Kohler model CH23S, Spec 76569, just blew numerous gaskets, lost most oil, but will run with oil topped off (so maybe bearings etc are OK). Question now is should I rebuild old engine (~2004, 800+hrs) or replace? Dealer wants $1400 to rebuild. New CH380-3088 (replaces CH23S-76569, but slightly less power) is about $2000 from on-line suppliers. I could do the swap myself, so am leaning that way.
Next question: Is there a more powerful Kohler that would drop in this...
Repower or rebuild motor in aging Exmark Lazer Z
