quick question- rings

[jury]

i took my cylinders off to sand blast them, do i have to hone them and get new rings now, or is it fine to just put it back togeather?? thanks

Look at them

you can reassemble with out doing anything but replacing gaskets but it would be worth it to hone the cylinders and install new rings.

well thecross hatch marks are still visable so i guess ill just go for it.

make sure there is no burrs on the rings and make sure the rings are positioned correctly.

 

Good luck.

Proper way is to get an inside and outside mic for the cylinders, check the pistons ...and a feeler gauge to measure ring end gap. If the gap is acceptable and within range, clean up the cylinder with a rag and clean soapy hot water and reassemble them. Why deglaze the cylinders when the rings are already broken into the motor?? You'd almost be breaking it in again...
