Nope,wont work,or at least not for long... The cylinder is already worn down .004 over standard bore and I assume the stock piston is in about the same shape or worse. When the piston/cyl clearance gets around .005 they start rattling,then later on people wonder why the piston skirts broke! Can't do like they did on cars years and years ago and just use oversize rings. Plus it'd have to be honed down to even get the .010 oversize ring end gaps to work which would make it even worse on the stock piston to cylinder clearance. Lot of shaking and rattling would be going on and just plain wrong. Says he has to only go 800 feet to check the mail,but think he'd be walking about 600 feet of that when the engine goes south on him. He'd be better of just trying std rings and seeing how long it'd last. But sooner or later he's gotta bite the bullet and do it right,new oversize piston and rings,cylinder bore then he can go check the mail and maybe even go a little further...
