Long story short I damaged one of my bottom rings when installing my pistons. It was the bottom oil ring and its slightly bent as you can see in the picture below. It will still go on the piston and in the bore but I want to know if I should replace it.

I would replace it. It has happen to me trying to finish everything before a weekend. Usually rings are cheap. The only downtime is waiting for them to arrive.

The piston ring compressor is what cut me up pretty good.
