Cylinder Hone

jbrightwell
If you hone out a cylinder, do you need to go with over size piston/rings?  I am a novice at this and some say yes and some say no.  The cylinder walls are not scored much but it is a very old bike.  Im thinking that standard size is correct?  Thanks All!

Just honing a cylinder will not cause you to need over size rings, or pistons.
