    Hi feder1100,

    welcome to GSR. Sorry mate but I can't answer much of the above. Partly because I'm not too sure what some of it means (i.e "wash out rings and dryed out valve seals"), but mostly because I don't know an easy answer that can be typed out in less than a couple of thousand words. Lol.

    Your best bet really is to bite the bullet and use the search function (top of page). Type in something like "new ring and valve installation" and try your luck. Try other different but simple descriptions and peruse the threads. Usually reading the first post or two in each thread is enough to see whether it is what you are looking for.

    There have been a number of people who have posted threads about their rebuilds that would do the job for you but I don't know where they are now, so unless you get real lucky real soon, someone needs to do a search.

    Good luck.
