    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Do to a broken head stud, I was forced to remove my head and cylinders with just over 9,000 mile after a ring job. The cylinders look good, should I just put it back together or re hone it and use the same rings?
Thanks
 
I'd throw it back together as is unless the compression was bad. Honing again removes metal from the cylinder wall and forces the rings to wear, two things that are bad on a good running engine.
 
I did not hone the cylinder. I just cleaned the pistons, cylinder head and put her all back together. She runs like new! After replacing all of the cylinder studs, nuts, washers and new gaskets, she started up on the first push of the starter button! It started like I just turned it off a minute before.
Thanks again for everyone's help!
