There is a post below about rings. Last few years, I have talked to a few cracker jack engine guys. Some of them can measure to the 0.0001. If the guy has a gas(not diesel) engine they are putting in over size rings in and grinding off enough material for a good ring gap. Naturally the ridge in top of the block is taken off.

Cylinders are ball honed with a coarse grit ball hone(can not remember the grit), This would be for engines where not a lot of hours are put on the machine. I did this once on my old Case 530 backhoe. It was about 4 years ago and the engine has a little over 450 hours on it now and no problems. Would any of you guys do this on a lower value machine? Forgot, put bearings in it they are cheap and I ground the valves,knurled the guides, used Chevy umbrella valve seals, and lapped the valves.
