Need some opinions on where to go from here...

This is the plan. The last 2 evenings have been busy. Hoping to work on it tonight and tomorrow and have a clearer picture.

Cylinder 4 had 2% leakdown though...

I was referring to the phasing of the rotor possibly being off from the wear on the brass inserts. Maybe a lighter wallet, but if there's a crack that I can't see, I don't mind ruling it out.

I mean, maybe...not even 100% sure it's the rings yet, but that said, LS guys and even some G3 guys will regap rings, put em back in the same hole with no hone, and run them HARD. So it's definitely not uncommon. Maybe I need to have 10psi huffing through it to help them seal right back up lol

Live and learn...I'm not angry, it is what it is
I wasn’t aware that anyone was installing used rings as I never have and never would. It just seems *** backwards to me. I’m like why go thru all that work and then have to do it over. You never by chance re installed the rings upside down did you?
