rings

Hi people, I'm looking for some guidance about pistons, rings and bores that I can't find in the many threads I've looked at on the subject. What a ton of great resources out there for this bike. A friend & I pulled the jugs on his 79 650 Special to do the base gasket, cam chain guide, valve...
