If I have already broke in my motor and need to pull the piston out is it important to put the piston back in with the rings in the excact location that they were initially put in? I have read that rings will rotate so it is not important but others say that it is.

 

The exact location is not important, I would avoid lining up all the gaps if anything.

 

yeh definately dont line up the gaps dont quote me but I think there supposed to be 180* apart or close. Unless you dont wont compression and want it to burn oil like hell.
