Re-Hone Cylinders?
i was told but a mechanic that i would need to re-hone my cylinder walls before i put in my new piston/ring asembly. he said you have to do it to make the rings sit right. i thought you only had to do this if your walls were all messed up, not if you are just replacing pistons and rings.
anyway, before i put my CTR pistons and rings in, do i have to do this toi the b16, or is it not nescassary?

yes...you are wasting your time (and your money) if you don't do it. The new rings will not seat in the cylinder wall correctly and your engine will burn oil. I tried to get away without honing the cylinders on my ZC cuz you could still see the hatch marks...but my step-dad (an ASE mechanic) informed me of the same info your mechanic did.
It is a relatively easy process if you know what you are doing and only took us about 15 minutes....if you don't a machine shop should be able to do it for a reasonable cost..hopefully your b16 block is not in the car

you will also need a ridge reamer. cause you pistions wear a lip at the top of the cylinder. and if you dont git rid of it before you install the rings i can crack, chip or even bend the ring when you install them.

Honing is very easy, and can be done by yourself. You just need to rent the tool, and have a drill. Usually places like autozone, or schucks/kragen/checker can rent a hone.

Yup. Get 'em honed. All they do is put in this really cool ultra-tiny design to help things seat properly. Don't skip that step.
Flunky PS-They'll be so pretty when they get done! Take a picture!
