I have a 96 Celica ST with 113000 miles. This car has been burning oil like crazy since I bought it. At least a quart every 750 miles or so. It smokes a lot when I step on gas which leads me to believe that the piston rings are shot. Is it worth it to pay someone to change the piston rings? It is due for a timing change soon anyways and I think it will be better to do both at the same time? Any ideas will be appreciated.

Piston soak it and run with the MMO for 1,000 miles. If that doesn't do it you can always switch out to 20W-50 if you live in a warm climate and that'll slow the burn.
