This is my first Kohler engine rebuild. Do they not do well with ring jobs? Thanks again for your help.

Ok.... *sigh*
You know, I typed out this long response, then deleted it and decided to just go with "no". No. No engine lasts very long with just a ring job. Especially air cooled Kohlers. But, you might get lucky. Some people do.
