You're probably good to go then. Measure then end gap on the new rings and report back. There are others here that can tell you if it's within the acceptable range.
have I done something REALLY wrong?

The old ring end gap is about ~0.37mm (0.3-0.4, nearer 0.4). New gap is 0.3 or a shade under

Brake hones work fine on closed port cylinders like the 056. They do not catch in the ports.

What about his end gap?
There is a set of rings on ebay (buy it now) listed for 056 super. Not sure if these are proper size?

Supers are 54mm, same as 045 Super.

yeah, bloody wish it was a super though
So yours is the vanilla 056, 52mm? Those seem to be more readily available than the 54mm or 56mm. Or, just swap a 54mm P&C on there. There's a guy with a couple for sale. Hang on and I'll look.

watch out, you may just make my day...
you will have to let em seat befor your going to get any real answer.
next time DO NOT scrub the black rings, they are ment to be like that and you made them out of round.
if you didnt scare the P+C your should just run it.
plated cyl. only needs to be honed when its damaged IMHO.
you best solution may be to get a new set of rings.

If you can't find OEM 52mm 056 rings, use 2 OEM Husky 281 rings.
His running a plastic scouring pad over those 051 rings didn't do anything to them. You can't remove enough material with a plastic pad on ductile iron to make it out of round.

yeah, that was my thinking (plastic pad).
Do the 281 rings have the same size ring pins?
if he took off enough material to change the color it can be measured and constitutes as wear. if the polished rings are as good as new with no significant material removed why should he replace the rings?
good tip on the Husky rings in a Stihl.

The black powder coating was uneven, and I've never seen matt rings before. Besides, I didn't take off more than the run-in would
