cheap and easy do nothing.
correct is rebuild it and replace worn or damaged parts.

thanks for chiming in. I don’t have the $ to drop it off at the machine shop. Nor do I have a hoist to take it out. It aka engine for those.
i want to take the head off and change the rings maybe bearings is that koo? Lmk

yea that will work
you can do all of this without taking the block out of the car
it just takes a little longer thats all
the head since you only have low compression on one cyl you wont have to resurface it but you must check it out and make sure that its not warped
or if your compression problem is the head or not
before you go replacing parts find the problem first

The head is freshly rebuilt with only hrs on it .There’s no leaks between the head and block as of now. I want to assume that won’t change after I do the rings. The block has 207k The head work was done bc the timing belt snapped.

I’ll need rings any suggestions d15

Marcos Barrios

yes
first of all if the price is more than 80 bucks dont buy them
they are robbing you
as far as brands go it really doesnt matter these days
just make sure that you get all of them
and for the right motor
