Replacing slightly damaged je's(lean condition) with new ones of the exact same type. Generally, should they be a direct replacement without machining block

im gonna say that the most correct way is to have the block honed

But if ur trying to do it quick/cheap, i think it would be fine aslong as u use the old rings, reason being, that they are already seated to that hone.

I dont think thats the right way to do it, but thats upto u.

pull them out, check for grooves/scuffs, hone, new pistons, new rings. do it right and you will only have to do it once.

if your pistons are messed up, then more then likely so is the block.
