Using used corner & side seals?
Can used side and corner seals be installed on a different rotor or different location on the same rotor than the one they came out of? If they are in spec of course. I know technically you're supposed to keep them matched up but that ship has sailed as I have these parts from a spare motor I took apart a few years back. Problem is I just threw them all in zip lock bags without marking them as at the time I thought "oh I won't need them I'll buy new ones at rebuild time". Well my motor is locked up and rebuild time didn't come at the best financial time. Also I built the motor in this one. It was my first build and iirc I clearanced the side seals on the loose side so the used ones I have may have tighter clearance if I can use them. Thanks.

Thanks. What about the oil control rings and springs, or is it best not to risk it on them. I will buy new oil seals for them.
