Trying to track down rings for the fiat twin cam in the Niva and as the engine is of the older 1600 variety parts are a little scarce, so far i've only been able to get rings in 80.2mm bore, currently the bore measures as 80.0 but after a hone that may open up a touch, is it legit to open the gap on the oversized rings to fit into 80.0mm? I assume the pistons would need to be replaced if I had the bores opened to 80.2? What is the opinion on bearings, (big and main) even though they measure up good and show little sign of wear, is replacing them because the engine is out a good call, or is it a case of don't fix what is not broke?
