Would a 75-77mm ring still make a perfectly circular compression seal in a 74mm bore if it were made gapless down to 74mm?

I get this weekend all to myself (wife and kid free, not actually to myself), so I'm going to look around at my Father's house and see if I've got any 75mm std bore rings from some old Honda pistons.
If you have a blown Honda engine laying around, it might be worth it to check it out, too. I know your one friend was having trouble, dunno what happened with that.
I would think that 1 or 2mm should be within tolerance for rings seating properly, but don't take my word for it.
Side note - Are you going to be at PAP this weekend, and should I bring anything with me?
