Yeah, you would get bigger pistons.

And generally, you bore the block for larger pistons. Not hone. Boring removes notable amounts of material, honing instills the desired cross-hatched surface finish.

If you want to check piston wall clearances, you will need the appropriate micrometers and bore gauges. This process is called "blueprinting". As in recording precise measurements, and calculating the clearances, like an engineering blueprint.

If you want precision and quality, these are expensive tools. That's why it's rarely done, "built" engines are slapped together, and they fail.
