Why do you say the engine is blown? What was the cause? I have been working on Toro units for 40 years and while I agree they are not built as well as they were back then, name me any brand that is. Blown engine is not a Toro problem, but in this case a Kohler problem, which is the reason I asked about the blown engine. I think there are many questions that need to be answered to solve your problem.
