I got my xr200 engine apart, piston rings were letting oil by. Cylinder walls look real good, no need for hone/bore (may hone it as a precaution).
Using a mic in a few spots, it looks to be 2.57900 in = 65.5066 millimeters. Stock size was 65.5mm, so that works good. (I guess .06 or less is good / within tolerance; I'm only .01 or less away)
Where can I get honda rings? I was told wiseco rings won't work, and my piston is a honda one. Maybe an oversized kit for the X will work? (65mm stock?)
Also for a head gasket, will any ATC 200 one work, even if the cylinders are slightly different? I'd use a 200s or even re-use the XR as it slid off complete without issue.
Thanks
EDIT: None I saw on ebay, or oversized X ones. However a google search came up with this:

For the Honda CB and CL 350's, not sure what a 3 piece oil ring means? But if it's a honda piston and the same size, theoretically it would work, right? Or maybe the stroke has some effect?
