Default re-use je rings?....or get total seal
i have the rings i used for about 30 min in my old motor, should i just take them off and re-gap them for the new block or get replacements?...i called larry at endyn and he did not recommend total seal, any one have any experience with any other brands?

i have always been under the impression that you NEVER re-use rings that have been in a running motor. that 30 min.. was idle? or driving?

i dont know what type to get but i wouldnt re-use those. they most likely have the beginnings of wear patterns.
