Lots of good advice, I figured it would be best to get the cylinder machined by a pro and go to the next sized cylinder. I do see that Kohler parts are a few bucks more, but probably for a good reason. I'll stick with the good stuff and send the engine out once I get it stripped completely down. Thanks again for all the knowledge, I do have all the parts/service/owners/Kohler manuals downloaded and printed out in a 3 ring binder, ever so handy along with all my digital pics of where stuff was before it was taken apart. Wish me luck in the coming weeks of cleaning, tagging and teardown. Happy Turkey Day to all !
