Jeep, the 374-004 are superceded by the 374-000. You'll need 4 sets of 374-000 if the cylinders are not scored or rusted. A simple hone job to break the glaze and stick it together.
By the way, don't tell anyone (I'll probably get flamed for this) but I re-used my rings on my 750a after I honed the cylinders.

my oldest son is 30 he races honda civic mini stock cars, he said reuse em, he's been building motors since he was 17. I prob wont keep this bike long but then again i dont wanna stick some poor schmuck. so far its two say use one says not to. Ill sleep on it for a week or so. Heck the motor will die of old age before I finish it. _________________ 76xs650 78xs650 79xs650 ty175 mr175 cb550

If I re-used rings I think I'd probably use a lower grade mineral oil for the first couple of hundred kms or so to try and ensure enough friction for the rings to seat to the fresh surface on the bore.I've known mechanics to put a used piston and rings into a cylinder on their own tired car engine, no hone of the bore!'Can do ' and 'should do' are very different concepts eh!
