While the above comments are correct, the one comment that I will add is that sometimes the walls have been eroded away where it is not prudent to go 0.100" or 0.125" over because of wall thickness. I actually have a sonic tester that is much like an ultrasound for humans. Ask your engine rebuilder if he can check the wall thickness for you, and also get him to mic the bores to determine if it will indeed clean-up on 0.080.
