well if that's the case i would suggest a engine rebuild. if you keep it like that it's only going to get worse.

pulling the motor is more $ and more time if you ask me. you chould be able to ring it for a few hundred.

it won't cost much if he knows how to pull the motor and ring it himself.

hell, he actually doesn't even need to pull the motor.

blow by is basically exhaust gases making it onto the ringlands and below the rings causing carbon build up, wear and loss of compression. its usually due to tired rings.

i was compering 1.)pull the motor and replace the block and 2.)just ringing it.
and in my opinion, #2 is easier and cheaper.
