Default My piston rings are shot, what now?

If I'm going to pay a garage to do my piston rings, should I buy an engine rebuild kit? If so, what type of kits are there?

My other option, which my mechanic actually recommended, is to buy a new engine. If anyone has a manual 92 prelude engine they are trying to sell with low mileage, you know what to do.

The rest of my car is in really good shape, new radiator, new clutch, no rust, CAI, carbon fiber Euro tail lights, and I don't want to sell my car, but it looks like I may have to if I can't find a good engine. What would you do?

people sell h22 and h23s everyone, just look around, or you could rebuild it but if you're not somewhat knowledgeable about engines i would just buy a new one and swap it in

If the sale of my H23 falls through, I will let you know. I am in Maryland too.
