@chuckm: I bought all new bearings, including thrust. I still haven't looked at where they go, but I'm sure I'll be able to find it seeing as I've got the new ones to compare.
@Mech:
Thank you for this advice. I checked with my finger and there didn't seem to be any lip even detectable. You're saying I sould have the machinist have a quick look with calipers? And if my old rings seem to be in alright shape, don't put new ones in? I've never actually thought of that, how they already have their little grove in the cylinder wall that new ones would theoretically have to "dig" their own groove (so to speak - this isn't anything on a visible level we're talking about here). Would you advise keeping the old rings in if I or the machinist have no reason to believe they have any faults, or was that just a frugal suggestion and if I bought new ones (I did) should I put them in?
I really appreciate your advice.
Will
