[QUOTE="whenfoxforks-ruled, post: 1376755, member: 73147"] Wrong! Re-using the rings once removed, is just as bad as re-using the cir clips. They will NEVER EXACTLY line up again, NEVER. They will prematurely wear out. I just recalled on some other forum, where a boat mechanic discovered that we are stupid for running expensive 2 stroke dirt bike premix oils. Boat engines run a lot hotter, he "figures", so marine premix oil is a lot better, he had never had a problem, so he "figures". WRONG, I am not retelling my "figuring", or at least I am doing my best in a sea of ignorance. Damn near every Micky mouse plan you can think of, myself or others HAVE already tried, with failures. So why perpetuate ignorance? There is solid data available to prove it, so why argue it? Back to the used cir clips poster, Dave89b, you can send your top end to a reputable shop, and have the top end fixed, for about what a used, questionable condition top end will cost. Cost per hours of fun, against cost per hour of fixing it? A good KDX top end should last a really longtime! People do leave the piston in the bore, and remove the cir clips, so as to not replace the rings. Not a lot of fun, till you have done it a couple of times, go figure? Vintage Bob [/QUOTE]
