Don't assume everybody knows everything. His original question was whether or not he could safely put the freed up motor back together w/out doing anything to it. I'm pretty sure that meant
not replacing rings, bearings, etc. just gaskets. That being said, my concern with a freed up (previously stuck) engine is that the rings may still be stuck in the pistons.
