You say the bore has light scoring, is it like any of my images above?
The first three blocks above will definately go to scrap metal.
I will use the bottom two.
The rings need to seal against the bore as it travels up and down.
Rings are available on ebay for a small amount.
I only hone the bore if I think it needs it.

You can get the cylinders rebored and a kit (exchange) would start at a cost $99.86 (depending on cylinder type)and that includes the piston assembly and rings. cheers2
