    Huummm, I wouldn't have removed the barrels to replace the valve seals. "BUT" while that far in, I'd measure the bores, and after confirmed all are good, hone and install new rings (back to like new cond.). Don't know if honing will be good for old rings, but shouldn't hurt anything.... All just my opinion.
