I’m thinking more like 5-6”From my experiences with kohler v-twin engines I would have to say I don’t think your lathe would have the swing to bore a cylinder. Have you checked?? Also you would need to bore about three to four inches length. Which I would suspect would be pretty flimsy. Idk the standard way would be setting up in a mill or dedicated boring machine. I think your best bet would be a mill and a stout boring head.
With a big enough mandrel holding a stout enough boring bar it would work, but now you’re material cost vs machine shop cost.
