Honda HRX217-TDA Engine rebuild

Although, i've heard loctite can mess up your torque when you do torque them.
i may just try new bolts and torque them.....

I use red only if I feel I'm never going to disassemble it, blue otherwise.

Small engines vibrate a lot and I started using it in my repairs a while back.

I have a small dilemma on the rings, the bore is aluminum,
There are 2 ring sets available from the parts house online. One is 13 bucks, the other 30 bucks.
Part numbers: Honda 13010-Z0Y-004,$30
Honda 13010-Z0Y-014,$13.
They are both standard size.

I'm wondering if one set is genuine Honda, the other some cheap knockoff.

Regards

Okay, i got the engine serial number (1169962)


and do i need to do any cylinder preparation, apparently it is a aluminum cylinder (magnet wont stick to it), so do i need to clean it good..... light hone?
because there appears to be a crosshatch pattern where the piston doesn't touch the cylinder at the bottom....
