you can re use those. just check the ring end gap and piston to wall clearance/out of round and you should be fine.

Just reads a shit load of Honda-Tech and Nico and obviously has a shit load of time on his hands to remove an entire engine, tear it all down and replace a single barely worn engine bearing, and waste $400 on gaskets and bearings not to mention a weeks worth of his time. Real winner here.

I did SR16 pistons with fresh oem rings. No honing since the walls looked clean with no scratches and the factory hatch marks were visable. We compression tested one day and it pegged the tester on each cylinder.

BTW, I just ran Rotella 10w-30 for the first 1,500 miles or so.

I'd definitely hone it a bit just to break the glaze and make sure the rings seat.

+1.

Go overbore even 1mm makes a diff.

N1 pistons are what 11:5:1 c/r. Go 13:1 or 12:5:1. The power diff is big in the allmotor game.

Where you gonna get a VET gasket?

Looks like you came back to earth a bit. I think this is a good little project that will be low-buck low risk and make you happy.
