Well, I don`t know the specs and I don`t have precise tools to measure the wear. The bores show no sign of wear by feel and the ring gaps do not change much when I slide the ring all the way down the bore, and there`s no difference if I place the ring to the top of the bore (the area that the ring normally does not reach) vs. if I slide it down. So I assume the wear is not substantial. I think the compression rings could be reused, my worry is about the oil rings, the side rails seem deteriorated, I can see through between the cylinder wall and the side rail when I place them into the bore.
