Depends how many pieces the rings and top ring land of the pistons are in. I drove mine for a little while and when we pulled the heads there were chunks of piston and ring embedded in the combustion chamber and scratched cylinder walls. If you're considering reusing anything I wouldn't drive it too much before the rebuild...
