Piston Rings?

Post by edoggdoremus »

I was decarbonizing my piston and took off the rings while cleaning it. Do i need to replace the rings with new ones once i take them off or is it fine to put them back on?

its fine to reuse them but if its had over 3k miles on it you might wantv to change them
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.
