I think I'm going to replace the piston rings. I'll
post the results when finished.


The cylinders should be honed and the pistons replaced if you're
going to do that. The ring grooves in the pistons get wider as
time goes by and the cylinder walls need smoothing into a circle,
again. No need to put new rings on an oblong hole, right?

As long as you've taken it apart, pistons and honing are cheap.

Honing will not true a cylinder hole.

I don't think so either, but I am not a mechanic, that's for sure.
Isn't the cross hatch honing done to produce very microscopic grooves to
hold the lubricating oil?
