You got ahead of the ballgame :P I had quite a few people tell me just to put rings in it, but I also talked to some other small engine guys, and they also agreed with me, why go this far just to put rings in the thing?

I'll have to set out to find a machine shop... I already found multiple rebuild kits, and that was an anticipated cost.

Thanks!
