Dave Kamp,

Thanks for the tip on measuring the entire length of the cylinder bore. Upon visual inspection I could see the gap between the piston and cylinder wall get wider as I ran the piston down to bdc. I will have to get out the telescoping micrometer and check the bore at the bottom before ordering the proper size piston and ring set. An oversize bore is definately in order for this 36 year old K-301 engine. I think I now know where all the compression blow by pushing oil out the crankcase breather was originating. More questions will need to be answered for me, as I am new to the Kohler engine and CC owners group. Thanks to all for the help thus far.
