Default Piston Install
So I have Been installing my pistons and on the 5th one I realized I forgot to clock the rings. My question is can I reuse the same shells after they have been torqued down?

Because the con rod cap bolts are TTY they should be replaced. The shells are not an issue.

I'm glad I asked about this. Completely slipped my mind that they are TTY bolts and need to be replaced. I guess I will wait till next weekend to rebuild the rig.
