New rings should be installed....the old ones will have taken a set and are now heat cycled many times....

End gaps MUST be checked

what do you mean , the old ones have taken a set. Do you mean they have been subject to the heat from break in and running and now are abit brittle and won,t like the rings being taken off and put back on again ?
