Leaving the engine for awhile wont affect the rings possible causes that i can think of off the top of my heap are:
1.Depending on how long the engine was sitting and seing as how you have a fairly humid climate rust may have formed on the bore and chipped parts of the rings away when it was turned over.
2.The car may have been running to lean etc thus annealing the rings which makes them sloppy (speculation)
3.The engine is just plain old tired.
If your going to pull the engine down you may as well rebuild it properly remember that you can use most 18r gaskets even the head gasket if you have to.
At the moment im porting and polishing the head taking a bit longer than i expected because im trying to do to much at the moment and to make matters worse my baby kissed the back of a VX commodore about 3 weeks ago but we will get there.
