When I re-sealed my engine a couple years ago, I found one of my pistons had a cracked ring. Rather than leave it in and wait for it to fragment into the engine later, I changed the ring on that piston.

Groetz rings and Alusil cylinder. I have been driving it and tracking it since with no problem.

A lot depends on the condition of the cylinder wall. Check for wear... if a cylinder shows wear, re-ringing will not work.

YMMV
