Big John, I'm not a fan of just doing rings with out replacing the piston and rod. Have a good machine shop to do the machine work for you. I paid an extra $30 and had the machine shop install the piston and ron and set the bearing end play for me. To me it was well worth the money. I've heard a lot of good things about the Sten's kits and would use one to help keep cost down if a Kohler kit is out of the budget.
Keep us posted.
