What do you think about this? Is it right or wrong?

Well, the most critical part of the cylinder is the upper 1/4" of the ring travel, where the compression and combustion pressures are the highest, up to 800psi.

Just something to consider. It'll probably run just fine like that.

But, the proper method involves precision measurements of the cylinder bore, looking at diameters, egg-shape and tapers. Then setting ring end-gaps to match...

I have already ordered the telescopic calibrators and the micrometer. I'm going slowly but surely. I have tried to read all the information available on the forum to be able to revive this girl. Thanks for the info. Any help is welcome.
 
Updates:
After a long accumulation of extra work hours I have been able to buy the necessary spare parts to reassemble the engine.

Note:
Ordered the front guide with Gary Hoss, however the mail in my country stinks, Gary has excellent customer service.

Hold on there, friends! If there's no side play on the swingarm it will lock up when you torque down the swingarm axle to spec. You need to be sure that the inner bushing (tube) is longer than the combined width of swingarm and bushings. The tube-not the swingarm bushings--needs to lock against the thrust plates (AKA grease seals) when the axle is tightened. A quick search will show procedures for measurements and installation.

Yeah... should have been clearer. I meant no sideplay between the inner bushing and the bronze bushings.
 
The base gasket in your pic appears to be installed upside down and backwards. It only fits right, covering all the sealing surfaces, one way. I hope you corrected that before putting the cylinders on.
