Taking the pistons out - Re-use the old rings? I need to take the pistons out this weekend to get flycut. When re-installing them would it be a good idea to use new piston rings or would it be safe to use the old ones? Any responses would be appreciated

i personally would re use them, i would only use news rings on a block that has at least been honed. to use new rings on a block that hasn't had the cyl. honed would be bad due to the rings having trouble seating.. but this is only in my experience..but make sure you label everything when you take it off even the rings.
