The only thing that I have found is that the TRW chrome moly rings are supplied with big gaps. .018 to .020".
Most engines require .012 to .014, so in order to get that you need to use the .035 over on a .030 piston and file the gaps to spec.

If you are going to reuse the existing rings, index the gaps (mark the positions) in relation to the pistons, they should be marked up or topside, and wash them first in clean keroscene and then brush cleaner.

The bores also. There can be no debris at all, and don't get cut on the top of the bore. IF the guy who bored it out didn't chamfer the top edge then you can get cut to shreds on the edge.
