Kevin:
Your machinist needs to tell you the ring and piston size after
he bores the block. You can't buy rings until you know the bore size. If
the block has already been bored once, for example, it may be 0.020"
over, so it will need at least another 0.020" overbore... More if the
cylinder walls are scored.
So, wait until your machinist tells you what size you need.

Subject: ring sizing
No, not wedding rings. Engine is totally torn down, going to the
machine shop
Monday. I am ordering parts now. I need to know how to measure what
size
rings I need. Do I do like the Bently shows, put a ring down into the
cylander then measure the gap? One again I'm clueless.
