hi Mike,
Going by what you said, above, I would suspect something much worse than a  
misaligned oil ring. I'd look for a warped cylinder, or bad piston. ( I know 
you  are replacing the piston) but I would want to know what the real cause was  
first.
 
Also, a 240 hone leaves a pretty rough surface. How about a  followup with a 
brush rotated in the opposite direction, to elimimate the rough  surface?
