Alusil cylinders options

Unknown mileage 83 3.0 engine. In the middle of a tear down. If the internals look ok I will just reseal. I'll ask for advice on what the condition of the components look like when I get there. It looks like my cylinders are Alusil. They have 10 fins, no MAHLE marking, and the only part that is magentic as at the top where it meets the head. Anyway, can I just re-ring, clean the cylinders with a red scuff pad and soapy water, and be on my way? OR do I need to get them re-sleeved? Who does this kind of work? This engine rebuild is on a tight budget so if I can get by with just new rings I will. Which rings should I get?

Thanks brain trust.
