I have to agree with Donald...somewhat.Sorry Tools.Piston rings are not like lifters or bearings.They dont rotate in operation and will seat in to place exactly where the have run.If there HAPPENS to be an out of round cylinder than you can have oil consumption/blow by issues by the rings not being back in the exact same location on the piston.Not to say that i haven't reused rings myself.I have and only ran into this issue once.Not a real big risk/common occurrence,but it can happen.Donald is not wrong,but neither are you. Now i done got myself in the middle
I wouldnt be scared to reuse them,but if budget allowed,now would definitely be the time to do rings.
