I need new piston rings :( Options

[fanboy95]

My piston rings are bad and i'm burning oil. I'm tired of my white car having a black rear end, where i have to wash it ever week to keep it looking desent. Does anyone know roughly how much a shop might charge to fix it?

Normally it's the cylinder bore and not the rings that wear.....
So IF you have ring leakdown, you're probably looking at a cylinder rehone at minimum, probably a rebore, not just replacing the rings.

But yes, valve seals also will cause oil burning, and are MUCH more common to go bad.

if you replace rings you have to rehone newayz
