Does Kohler CH22 need oversize rings

[BlazNT]

The shop I use costs $75/cylinder, which includes glaze honing. I never send anything in until I know exactly what all needs to be done and will not do just a cylinder if I feel the engine also needs crank work or a different size rod. Also I will not use an old rod with a new piston. Yes, this does cost me some work, but when I'm done I know that it was done right. That's why I asked the OP for all those measurements. If the sizes he posted are very accurate and the cylinder is not out of round or tapered, he may be able to just glaze hone the cylinder and use a standard size piston and rings. Before I did this I would be triple checking all my measurements, as he is on the border and I can not see the condition of the cylinder. As I said just taking and giving us one measurement, is not being fair to us who are trying to give him guidance in how to proceed. Many on this forum say that what I do is overkill and it can be done cheaper, but my rep is on the line every time I do one and in this business you don't last long using short cuts. Found they come back to haunt me.

You are always the word of caution. I love when you throw you .20 cents worth in. Always reminds me of the thing I forgot to put in my post.
Everyone that helps on here has their own style. So don't you go changing yours. I and others(they may not admit it) depend on your ability to remember every detail that needs to be thought about.

[Thanks for all of the advice and info, I did measure at top, middle and bottom and then at 90 on both cylinders two times. I do not think the engine is worth putting a lot of money in it. This forum is the best that I have been involved with for I got more info and quick response than any other forum I have asked info from. allis

If you give me all six measurements and you feel they are very accurate, I will give you my best guess as to whether it is worth sticking any money into.
