Default Not sure how to tell what size piston rings are needed. HELP!!!

I am purchasing a 86 Integra RS and will be pulling the motor and I am planning to replace certain parts.

One of the parts is the Piston rings.

I believe I only replace with stock unless the cylinder walls have been bored then I would use bigger ones.

Any help?

I know I will need to hone the cylinders and may need to use a reamer.

Any help.

What do I use a caliper on? Do I use (i think its called..) a telescope caliper, to measure the cylinder walls?

How can I tell though if I need to replace piston rings and what size?
