Default Kohler K161, Refresh, or Rebuild Kit?

Today, i parted the Engine of my "O", the Condition was better than i thought.

The Motor was not running, because Coil, Battery, and some Wires are missing.
My Original looks like longer stored outside.

Now, i want to make the Engine new. In ebay i saw some Aftermarket Kits for my Engine.
What is better, Refresh Kit, with Rings and Gaskets, or Rebuild Kit with Gaskets, Oil Seal, Rod, Rings and Piston?

Are the Aftermarket Parts good Quality, or should i take Kohler Parts?

In the inside of the Cylinder, i found a little Hole in the top area, but it goes not trough. How can i repair this, must i weld it?
What do you think about the Piston Play in the Pic?

To determine what you need to replace, you need to measure the bore as shown in the Kohler service manual. That divot in the middle of the piston belongs there; it was necessary for manufacturing the piston.

I think he was talking about the hole in the cylinder in the bottom left picture.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
