You need to hone the cylinder to brake any glazing you may have so that the rings seat properly..

If you are not sure or never done this before your local machine shop can do this for you...

I would have it honed just to be on the safe side, even if the cylinder looks perfect the rings would seat better with the cylinder being honed... There is a difference between boring and honing...

Honing a cylinder is very easy and doesnt take nearly as long as boring it does. You can even got to Sears and buy the honing stone tool that attaches to a drill and do it yourself.
