If you are simply rehoning a block, and the bore size is still correct then you should use a new set of std rings. If the bore is worn, then rehoning will not suffice and a rebore and new O/S pistons will be required.

Use a dial gauge to check all the way up and down the bore both before you bother trying honing, and after you have done it, ive seen some real horrors with bores 2 thou bigger in middle than at the top or vice versa!
