reusing piston rings

[Bansheekidd97]

i am rebuilding my brothers shee motor. had to get new tranny and new used cylinders, the new cylinders are .060 over the seller said it only had like 5 hours on the piston and rings you can still see the hone marks in the cylinders, pistons look to be in great shape. was going to just rering it but im having a hard time finding just rings, and im not sure what kind of pistons they are can you mismatch name brands? i found the pro lite kit on flea bay for 140 shipped, but he already owes me 400 for some of the other parts. was wondering if i could get away with using the the used rings.

re using rings is li ke re using a condom. its bound to break

 

I personally would go the extra mile and find out where you can order the exact rings for those pistons at..... WHY throw used in when u can get some new ones for a few pennies and ensure the longevity of the motor

Just do yourself a favor, buy a fresh top end kit. For 159 plus shipping, you can get EVERYTHING you need from magic.

 

1.5mm probably means 1.5mm overbore, which...does mean it's .060 over.

 

Take them to a machine shop, have them mic the cylinders. They should be able to tell you if they can hone them and keep .060 over in there, or...you need to go to the next size.
