What about sleeves? A good machine shop should be able to fit cylinder
liners so you can't tell. The old guy that runs the shop I've used on
occasion - a true artisan with engines, BTW - has a rule of thumb. Measure
the wear on the cylinder (or crank or whatever), double it and go with the
next larger piston or bearing size. Methinks your engine was pretty well
worn before the rebuild....
