I have bought several early to mid 80's honda accord and civic's (cheap prices now)
and have successfully rebuild the engines and used the cars for commuting back and forth to work. The cars usually had a bad head gasket or burned oil badly. for the most part a Honda even with high mileage can be okay with the rehone and use standard piston rings. You have to inspect the wear of the cylinder after you pull the head off. If the bore looks okay, no deep scratchs and has some crosshatching left, hone it. Don't hone it if it has straight up and down scratchs and a ridge at the top of the cylinder, that would require boring to repair. I use a cheapo hone attached to a standard 3/8 drill you can buy anywhere. I would recommend replacing the bottom end bearings as well. It's easy and on a honda, if it's got no noise in the bottom end it's probably cool for standard bearings. On a honda the bearing code is stamped into the block and crank and with a Helms you can find out which one's to order based on the stamps. This makes changing bearing simple and easy. I think for the accord I did last it was about 8 dollars a bearing. the whole rebuild cost me around 400 dollars with factory parts, I happened to run new pistons which made it more expensive. It runs perfect.
