these seem like honda-tech questions to me...

Yes compression helps perf.

Main seal, freeze plugs, bearings, rings, gaskets, lotsa plastigauge, new oil pump, water pump, valve seals, springs... lots more!!! You should prolly try to find a rebuild kit, or maybe just let a professional handle it.

hone the cylinders at least .25 mm over to ensure roundness and go with oversized pistons and rings. you wanna replace as many things as possible during a rebuild.

bottom end kits and head gasket/seal kits are available.

You'll be honing for a while to get .25mm over. I think you meant boring to .25mm over.
Just being picky.

Yeah, like:

"I'm bored at work, so I hone my programming skills"

"I'm horny at work, so I bore the secretary"

See not interchangable... LOL
