So I'm ready to take the block to the machine shop. My bore is at 4.1845-4.1855.
With that being said.
Option #1 A new ring pack costs $1067, and the pistons to go with that have a 4.1745 skirt. The spec says skirt clearance must be min 0.0080 and max of 0.0100 (yeah I know a couple cylinders are at .0110) For this all I need to do is run a hone thru for diamond rings and new bearings.
Option #2 open the ring lands up (above mentioned pistons) by Eric at Rebco for $210 buy off the shelf 4.185 rings (.043, .043, 3mm) and throw it back together. JE pistons told me they wouldn't open the lands up, but they said I could do whatever I want.
Option #3 I have a new set of pistons, that will require boring to 4.200. I will have to buy a new set of rods $600-$800, Rings $414, and the deck will have to be taken down .0500 Everything will be nice and tight again, but I don't like the idea of milling the deck down on this really expensive block.
Option #4 order custom rods ($2488) and run the new pistons with current deck height. Not really cost effective... 
On option #2 what are your ring lands now... but this
sounds like the quickest/best and cheapest
