Piston help

[micromonster02]

Hey everyone I'm in the middle of a complete engine rebuild of a car that has been in a warehouse for the last 35 years. I rebuilt the brakes and fuel systems and it ran like a champ. After a month or so it started to leak oil then it started to leave a half a quart every time I drove it. So now its time to rebuild the motor. Now that the engine is completely apart I've found out that it has been bored out so that it needs rings that are .040 over stock. Bruce at Honda600carparts doesn't have them or can get them from his sources. The pistons have a 100 on them which I've been told is a 1.00 mm larger than stock.
Here's the question:
Does anyone know where I can buy these rings so I don't have to replace the pistons and cylinder head or that my best bet
Let me know your thoughts, thanks everyone

Also talk to miles he just had a set of 1.0 pistons oem that he had the ring grooves widened to accept early civic piston rings.

Ok Piston problem has been solved. Hastings has the rings and was able to piece together and make a set for me.
Thank you all for the help  Kurt
