A standard 5.0 has a 4" bore.

You aren't going to bore it?? Get some file to fit rings and set the gaps.

the problem is the ring size . ordered 5/64 for the two top rings and 3/16 for oil control and none of them fit

What doesn't fit?? You mean the width of the ring?? Are the ones you purchased too wide or too thin??
