How you know the rings bad?
What's the mileage on engine/car?
This can get pricey depending on condition of ur engine.

how do you know that only one ring is bad? it,s makes no sense to spend 1200-1500 in labour to change rings on one piston.i will recommend you start saving some money and rebuild the engine. yuh pardner is a crook an a rasclart

aight a guy called Eddie i was referred to from the folks at autonation checked it and did a compression test and all that and gave me the run down...
i want to rebuild it i not goin to fix one piston....
Eddie told me it would be 3K in parts and 3K in labour to rebuild it....that kinda steep right now so if i can find someone cheaper that'll be great...
i hopin i dont have to resleave and buy new pistons and all that great stuff.....

if theres no machine work involved, 3k for labour is kind of high.

yeah dred i tryin to get the parts online to see how i can save a buck for the labour....already get the whole seal kit so keepin my fingers crossed...same padner told me the timin belt changed when he changed the water pump two months ago so it may not be 3K in parts fortunately....
i called jason but i guess he busy cuz he aint call me back to give me costing and what not and i not gettin through to him...i will keep tryin him cuz two guys recommended him from tuner so i guess he is the man...
