the slap is dependant on the piston to wall clearance. we just did one, set it at .0035 clearance sounds stock. our pistons though came with rings.

I used Hastings rings that came with my Vitara's when I bought them.

I think FJT would probably be able to get you just the rings, but they come with the kits. The piston slap is from a combo of running worn 75mm bores with the pistons that are much smaller than the 74.9965" they should be for a ideal fit. They're more like 74.9935-45. In a worn stock bore, thats like tossing a hot-dog down a bowling alley as far as a Honda motor is concerned.
You can get the 75.5mm kits and have your sleeved honed to match them. I'd go with .0035"-.0045", depending on how much power you intend to run.
