I read all the doom and gloom threads and all the ones with “it worked for me”.
I figured with everything in spec I had better than a 50/50 chance they would seat.

Good to see a postitive outcome. I've never tried to re-use them due to all the warnings on this site. When I discussed with a friend who runs a 944 turbo, he didn't believe me that 911 people say that Alusil cannot be re-used ; afterall, all the 944 and 928 etc are all Alusil blocks and they often re-ring etc.
I'm not giving an opinion on what is right or wrong, but I look forward to seeing the outcome of this one.
