So I assume the wear is not substantial. I think the compression rings could be reused, my worry is about the oil rings, the side rails seem deteriorated, I can see through between the cylinder wall and the side rail when I place them into the bore.
Ohhh.... i'd probably back the bus up abit, if I were you. At least lay on the brake some...
If you're trying to do this even partially "right", you shouldn't be letting $100 worth of snap gauges and a caliper stop you. Take your time, do it right. You'll be glad you did.
