This may sound like a stupid question......will standard piston rings be ok in a bore thats been opened out to + 0.5mm, what would potential problems be...

piston slap and poor compresion for starters.

simple answer, no they won't

if your going for a rebore, do it properly, 93mm!

Correct it is a stupid question the pistons and rings are too small for the bore and would be a poor seal
