no. if the cylinder bores are scored, then the bores may be able to be cleaned up with just a hone, OR they may need to be machined. the machine shop will be able to tell you after they clean the block and bores.
if they are just honed, you will most likely need new piston rings, and to perform the piston ring gap procedure, to make sure the gap matches the factory recommended spec
if the bores are machined, THEN you will need oversize pistons, and those pistons should come with new rings. you will still need to make sure the new rings have the correct gap, according to the piston manufacturers recommended spec.
