I re-used the Alusil after re-ringing. Many people have. It can work. I used the (I hope this is correct) Groetz (SP) rings. Pelican can get them, they did for me. Just make sure your cylinders are in spec, measure, measure, measure. If they are in spec and are not scored/damaged... I have north of 30,000 miles on the re-build and do not appear to have anything blowing past the rings.
I did the same re-using the Alusil with new rings. I do not have quite 30K on engine but after 2 years and MANY miles engine has perfect numbers. The key is measure everything.
