Ok for starter do not replace the piston rings with any other kind besides cast iron. They are the only ring that will make a seal in a bore that has not been machined.

You should Hone the cylinder with a flex hone or a spring loaded one to break the glaze and give the cross hatch so that the oil has a channel to hold on to, this will provide proper lubrication. Lacquer thinner might remove the glaze as well. Double check that the rings fit the pistons correctly and that the ring lands are not worn. Also make sure they fit the cylinder correctly. Like said above ring gaps should all be offset 180degrees. Good luck...
