Re: 99 GTP: Replace piston rings?

That would have been a good option to consider before I started the rebuild. But I'm too far down this road to go back. I've already accumulated the parts (gaskets, motor mounts, hoses, etc.).

As I said previously, my original goal was to fix various leaks. Then upon recommendation, I decided to replace the head gaskets because of mileage and desire to keep the car. I was able to borrow an engine hoist and stand so pulled the engine to make working on it easier.

Now I'm just trying to determine the value vs. the work/risk in taking it a little further with replacing the rings.
