Measure ring grooves, have your cylinders cleaned, slightly honed with the sunnen paste and scotch brite pad. It will remain a gamble, but with lot higher chances of success than reusing old rings.

Aurel,
I am in the middle of a rebuild of my 86 930 motor. I stripped it to fix some oil leaks and stiff clutch and will do a few other things while I'm in there.
I was not planning to replace my rings as ring grooves and barrels measure up OK, however your comment regarding replacement of rings has me wondering if I should do this. What is the problem with reusing old rings - do they tend to leak when re-used?
