...Ted, would you re-ring the pistons without touching the bores?

New rings would require a fresh finish on the bores even if nothing but a glaze breaker or a ball hone is run through them.  Assuming the original rings are not worn, then I see no issue in reusing the same rings in the same bores.  Because the second ring is a tapered design, looking at the amount of wear on that particular ring is always a good indicator of how much wear is on the rings.

cos,
 I ran those Jahns  pistons too. Had the same experience and retired that engine. 3 7/8" bore.
I made a wax cast of the dome on my pistons and cc'd it. the result was 17 cc.
 Jahns also had "1/4 inch deflector" piston as they called them.
Hope this helps.

Thanks  Gaga  Exactly info I need.  Those lumps look big, will do math and see how much it  rises comp. ratio with g-head 69 cc (?). As mention above over 11 to 1 I suspect.. I cc some 471 heads i had redone for SC engine, they came out 78cc with .015  surface clean up. Guessing those  pistons must weigh 800 grams.
