Yep.
I reused them from time to time when I was a dealer tech (under shop foreman orders), and I've reused them on my own stuff before. But that's also because I have the ability to redo it if it doesn't work out.
For the weekend warrior wrencher, I would never recommend reusing rings. Ever.

Well, I don't want to have to do it twice. Hopefully the cheap rings I'm buying are a better option than reusing the original ones. I wish I had the money to get all the nice stuff and I realize that the rings are an important part of the build but I can only do what I can.

pistons rings wear to the block, hints the "break in period" if u reused them they will either A-break under heavy compression, or B- have no compression and cause piston shatter and burning oil
