where are you learing how to do this rebuild anyways, how do you check what in spec?
BTW, you're doing pretty well thus far, but don't get overconfident, the actual cleaning and assembly is what gets most people.
NEVER reuse apex seals if they have more than 20k miles or so on them. Just say no. They're cheap.
NEVER reuse water seals at all.
Don't worry about the rubber cornerseal plugs...they have no real effect on compression, and serve no real purpose after 10-20k miles anyway. I see them as a waste of money.
Other than that, carry on.

But credit must once again be given as everything I've learned has come through the Atkins video, reading nopistons, and bothering Kevin Landers with idiotic questions on the quest for knowledge

e-shafts dont really get out of spec too easily unless something really crazy happened
