Default better kohler piston

I'm going to let the machine rebuild project sit for a couple days...

Project "B" is rebuilding a kohler 12hp. model K301S engine on one of
my gravelies. I ordered a cheap rebuild kit off eBay with a .030 over
piston. Long story short this piston is actually only .025 over and
its a really crappy piston. (The skirt is 12 thou bigger than the
wrist pin) The cylinder wall isn't going to clean up as there's
already a .020 over in it.

I looked in the gravely manual. They show three styles of pistons with
far tighter specs. on styles B and C vs. the style A that I got.

Anyway, I need to order a top quality .030 over piston. Anybody
suggest a place?

Karl
