it depends on how bad the damage is....pics? if the rings were bad, it doesn't necessarily mean that the piston is bad....however if the ring actually "broke" the rings, generally the ring lands are the cause of the failure.

So... you cracked the rings themselves? As long as the cylinders are w/in specs (no major damage a hone wouldn't take out) and the pistons not scuffed, I'd say they could be reused. I just wouldn't trust them with as much power as before.
