As long as your bores are round and you can put a cross-hatch pattern on the cylinder walls, you can re-ring it. You'll have to check the bores with a bore gauge and use a "dingle-berry" hone to pattern the walls. Put a compression tester on your engine and turn it over. After you get the reading record it, then shoot a little oil in the cylinders and check it again. If your compression goes up after the oil, your rings are toast.
