Yes, but I don't like 3-piece seals. For the cost of new ones, reusing seems like a good idea. Be careful that the seals are not warped.

I never had any trouble reusing springs, look at the apex seals springs closely, they wear on the ends and it is not always obvious.

If they didn't get bent while removing (bends the weak direction are ok, but not in the strong direction - it will hurt the sealing surface).

Check how much of the edge is shiny (I think there is a spec in the FSM). Replace the O-rings for sure.

There is no reason to replace good corner seals, just make sure that they aren't cracked.

That depends on how they fit the eccentric shaft. you will have to mic them and verify that the oil film thickness is within spec. You will want to be ultra careful when pressing them out to keep them straight so that they don't deform.

Up to you, I was told my a good friend whose porting ability I respect that if you think that bigger is always better - leave the exhaust port alone.

I know this thread is useless without pics. I'll get some I promise. I have to
clean things up this weekend and then take the pics.

Cool, please do.
