Before i would worry about stuffen the pistons in i would be putting a Mic to the bore and checking from top to bottom . IF it needed rings then it needed bored and new pistons and then rings . As the honing only made it bigger . IT may work for a short time but this is not a cure , it is a band aid on a cut that needed three stitches . But if this is what you want to do then i like my way of cleaning pistons a lot better then elbow grease . Get yourself a steel five gallon bucket fill it with about three gallon of plan old water add two big bottles of Mr. Clean to it then cook it , try and keep the temp of the water around 190 to 200 Cook for three hours and every once in a while use a nylon stiff brisle brush and give a lite scrubbing pay close attention to the ring grooves . This will just melt the carbon and varnish off . When done rinse with warm water blow dry and let them set for a day in the warm . Oh by the way DON"T DO THIS IN THE HOUSE piston soup plum STINKS>
