rebuild. or put in thicker oil.

 

no money for rebuild but you think Im good for now?
the guy just put a new head gasket, and head on it.

 

rings are prolly shot, thats how my hatch was until I dropped my old crx engine into it. Ryan

 

are you blowing blue smoke at all or are you just noticing that your getting low on oil every now and again?

 

Im bout to buy the car tommorow when I brought it to my dad to take a look at it he said when I drove off it was smokin I dont know if it was blue, bu tif my rings are shot how much will it be to fix them?

 

just get a new motor, it would be better in the longrun. even if you swapped in a 90si sohc it would be cheap. you can find those motors for a few hundred bucks.

 

you can buy a rebuild kit from http://www.importperformanceparts.com i think thats the site, its like 329 bucks, and it comes with everything for the bottom end except rods

buy a bottle of No Smoke at pepboys. it helps a little but i heard in the long run it ***** up your motor even more.
