blow by problems, what do you mean by blow by?

 

piston rings not sealing

 

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.

 

i apprecitate the help guys. just replacing the rings would be the cheap route but i feel like if i tear it all the way down then why not just rebuild it ... now i just gotta come up with some money to pay for it all
