turbominicooper Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 basically only did some overhaul tasks on my car 5e less than 200km ago and planning a piston swap to bin off the 5efhe pistons and replace with 4efte. question is can i re-use the headgasket and maybe even rings (doubtful)? or for the sake of what they cost just replace with new?

maddox710 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 If the rings are going back in the same block I wouldn't even bother, just replace all gaskets Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbominicooper Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 Not even a light hone ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 If you use the same rings in the same cylinder, you don't need to hone. The ring would have already seated to the cylinder wall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
