Default Replacing rings..is a hone required?

OK, havent' done this before, but since my motor(1990 B18A1) is out, I'm going to throw in B16 pistons..

The motor has 80k miles, no compressio loss issues.. I figured I should buy new rings? Or use the ones on the LS pistons?

Should the cylinder walls be honed for the new rings?

Thnx!
