Possibly someone was mistaken?? or you were given a line of B.S.
Happens all the time, the term "it was all rebuilt" is about as misunderstood/misleading as "if you don't like you can return it" @ a restaurant 
Then there are some ppl who think a couple of gaskets and some spray paint describes the term also.
possibly the bore was in decent shape and it got new rings?
Did you actually measure the bore? That is the only way to really know what you have.
But if you are happy with the performance,no problem.
Some service manuals state a bore if round, it can be as much as .008 oversize and still use Std rings, I don't like that much clearance.

Yeah no the ad specifically said "bored 0.010 over", also that the crankshaft was ground 0.010 under. He pointed to the writing on the tins to indicate it was rebuilt when I went to take a look at it. I don't remember if he said he had it rebuilt, or if the PO had it rebuilt, but obviously somewhere there was some BS. The piston was fairly snug in the bore when I took it apart. Who needs special equipment when you can rebuild an engine with just a marker
? Oh well, it runs fine so no big deal , caveat emptor I guess.
