i would run OEM spec ring gap for that mm bore. look for rebuild specs.

honda has MANY diff bearings. you will have to "decode" your crank. look for numbers/letters

your pistons shouldve come with a spec sheet stating what ring gaps they recommend for different applications. as the rod bearings, you need to look for the letter stampings on your crank. number stamps are mains, letter stamps are rods. I have no idea what size equivilant the eagle rods are, so after you find out what stamping your crank is, plastigauge your rods using the bearings he supplied to figure out if you need bigger or smaller bearings. reds are the smallest and greens are the middle ground.
