If the ring is in good condition, I always reuse.
If the ring feels tough, brittle, or has a crack: I replace.

order them from mcmaster carr, you get 100 of them for the same price as a 'kit'
but I reuse them if they are pliable, not cut or distorted, as stated above.

PS: is their a difference between 81mm or 84mm heads... the kits come in one size... so assuming no.
