Default I fucked up, Im a dumbass, OPINION Please

Well today while sitting in the simulator sapposidly working... I was going over the build check-list in my head, while reading out and doing the weapons check-list to shoot a ship. Most of you have seen pics of it and know what is involved in it, if not, search and youl see it.

The Predicament.

When i was home i took the CP pistons out of my block to grind off the sides of the intake valve reliefs on them so they didn't blow out on me. When i was done i weighed them all out on a 3 bar scale to make sure they were perfect still, and they were.

I put them rods and pistons back in the block, what i just remember that i forgot to do (Stupid me)
I forgot to index the rings.
Now... They were already indexed when they were put in the first time before i pulled the pistons to clean them up around the edges, BUT, im not sure if i mabey spun some around or something while doing the work on the valve reliefs.

So...

Should i tear the engine back down and pull the rods and pistons out to make sure the rings are indexed, or is it a huge concern?

For anyone wondering how far assembled the motor is now, here is where it sits...

lol it will blow eventually, i don't doubt that.

Is there any quick checks i can do aside from dissasembling the engine? if not, i don't have a problem taking it all back apart, i just don't want too if i don't have too.

nah you're getting too butthurt, making my joke seem plausible

personally I'd rip the ---- down since it's out the car and wouldn't be too big of a pain in the ***. Would rather do it now then after it was in the car and ***** up...
