An engine shop would use a bore gauge to check the cylinders for wear then order the oversized pistons and bore the cylinders to fit the pistons. There can be very subtle differences in the piston dimensions so it's always best to have the replacement on hand before you bore. And as Pete posted, the rings are bought to match the cylinder overbore. The rings need to be inserted in the cylinder and the end gaps adjusted before they are installed on the pistons. If there is a lot of wear in the cylinders then the 235 can be safely bored to .060” over.
The crank undersize bearings usually run .010”, .020” and .030” being the limit and above that you either need a new crank or need to have it welded.
