You have to use the size piston that goes with the overbore. So if it was bored I'd guess it was at least 0.010. means that you can't use a std bore piston.

If everything else is in fact OK I wouldn't worry about an extra thou or 2 on ring end gap of all the machine work is where it should be.
Air cooled engines do tend to run a little bit more piston to bore clearance than water cooled ones.

And 1 more thought/ I have had engines that were borderline on needing a bore or not.... Kohler used to offer a 0.003 over piston, meant to be used with a STD size ring pack. WHEN YOU CAN FIND them (they have not been made in ages, and are getting scarce) and IF your engine can be honed and maintain a non tapered/non egg shaped bore, then if consider setting piston/bore clearance as you are after.
But otherwise no.

And if you use the std rings on one of those NOS/OEM 0.003 pistons then yeah your ring end gap maybe a thou or 2 over "expected".
It's a bit of an odd situation. The block was sleeved and bored & honed to STD bore. Long story...

So, that's probably where the confusion comes from. One doesn't normally expect to see "bored" and "standard bore" in the same sentence

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.
