Can I reuse water seals?
I have a question. I have a rebuilt motor that has been lubricated/turned over frequently. It has been sitting in a garage for about a year and i wanted to tear it apart.
(reason being is i think the irons are ported inward too much towards the o ring .. I may put up pics of the oil control rings observed from the intake runners just so i can get opinions from the almighty engine builders.)
Can I reuse the waterseals? The motor HAS NOT even been started and has just been sitting in a garage as an assembled short block.
(The water seals are brand new or at least i think they are brand new according to the person who rebuilt it)
Is there any way i can tell if the water seals are reusable by inspecting them?

true but they are new according to the previous owner. Is there any way i can inspect it? i probably will get new ones the Pineapple HD kit. Just curious as to what i should look for when determining what is and what is not reusable thanks once again guys. I appreciate it.
