Eventually youll need to remove them. I would wait until you need to do that. Alot of guys get over excited and jump the gun ripping stuff apart. Later they forget what or where stuff belongs. When you removed them make a paper pocket out of some loose leaf paper. This will protect the ring and easily label them. Another point is if you are swapping the pistons that youll want to keep the sets together. Also rings are cheap so when in doubt ... start over. Have the cylinders measured for heights. They should be stamped for groupings but in the end when your machinists measures the rods for center to center lengths and weights its just one more thing for your blueprints. Your local machine shop should be good for questions or bouncing ideas off of. My local shop never had any issues with me picking their brains for knowledge. Buy and case of beer and drop by the shop. Youll prob get the best and cheapest advice ever ... plus a face/name for later.
