Default Re: Nocking at high RPMs

Ok... since I have hijacked my own thread and it's now "help the new guy rebuild a 305"...

Rings??? I'm staring at the pistons and scratching my head if I should pull them out and re-ring them? The top of the cylinders have a slight ridge that I can feel with a fingernail. (Was not planning on having the block machined due to cost)
When running the motor used a little and leaked a little oil, only smoked for a second on start up. Had good power. The heads are already removed (cuz I'm an idiot) so I missed the opportunity for compression testing.

I kinda want to leave the rings alone.

What say the forum???
