You really should get a manual. That's a pretty ambitious project to take on without having clearances and torque values.

You need to check ring gap as well as piston clearnance. Heasd Bolt torque values, Valve clearances if 4 cycle.

I would go about .0015 on the bore but check else where for the Factory spec.
