If your engine measures out with little to no cylinder taper, hone marks still prominent in the cylinders, pistons still at least in spec, but rings with excessive gap, by all means re-ring one. But if new standard rings for the bore aren't pretty close on ring gap, you probably didn't measure correctly. See Cole in MO. BTDT When you install rings in a funnel, they will never seat properly. Gapless rings might work for a while, but I expect they will wear out quickly. Hope is not a good measurement for engine assembly. Good luck, Mel
