Description
Overview:
Rings .020 for Kohler K161 Engines (part no. 231426-S) are genuine Kohler replacement rings designed to restore proper sealing and compression in the K161. Made from durable, high-quality metal and precision-finished to Kohler specifications, they provide a reliable gas seal between the piston and cylinder wall for efficient combustion and controlled oil use. The .020 in oversize (0.51 mm) is intended for engines that have been re-bored or honed to the next service size, helping bring a worn bore back within tolerance. Suitable for garden and light construction machinery powered by the Kohler K161, these rings support dependable starting, steady power, and reduced oil consumption after a rebuild or top-end refresh. As a genuine Kohler part, they are engineered for a correct fit and consistent performance.
