Last year when I decided it was time to overhaul my 32,000 mile 550F engine, I was hoping I'd manage with a honing and new rings.
However, when trying to source new rings, I realized Honda no longer sells the standard size, and it was near impossible to find them anywhere else.
So, when I came across the entire kit for $100, I jumped on them. Honda's price for a single ring set was $40, so $100 for everything was less money anyhow. I spent extra boring vs. just a hone, but marginally more, and it should be better than a hone anyhow.
Just make sure whoever does the machining on your cylinders knows what they're doing - i.e. don't take it to your local auto mechanic. Boring small cylinders requires different tools than doing larger engines.
It turned out I had broken rings in cylinder #3 which had deformed the grooves on the piston, so I needed at least the one new piston anyhow. I've been tempted to pick up another one of the $120 kits just to have around for the future.
