Jim, Sorry that you have to tear it down again. Won't the new pistons and sleeves come with the proper rings? I would not use the same head gasket again since when you torqued it down, it compressed and formed itself to the microscopic variations between the head and block. When you take it off again, it will not "spring" back to new condition and will not seal properly when you reinstall it. I think that on a high compression engine it would be critical to get the maximum seal possible. Good Luck, Ivan
