Motor Rebuild (Only Rings & Bearings)
Hey guys I was just told by my tuner that my rings are gone...Sucks!
I was told by a couple friends that I can just replace Main & Rod bearings and rings and I would have a nice stock block without blowing a load of cash.
So I was wondering if anyone had good suggestions as far as what brand bearings I should go with and what rings?
Thanks

If you replace rings I believe you need to hone the bores so that the rings seat properly. Regardless, if you are gonna through all that trouble you may as well pick up some stronger pistons and rods.

I thought about that (new pistons and rods) but I really do not have enough right now...I appreciate it but trust me...every penny counts for me right now...thats why I ask for suggestions for rings and bearings....I was thinking Cosworth main and rod bearings and hks ring set...

No he didn't but he seriously doubt it was a burned valve when the car is and 03 with 37,XXXmiles on it...my brother got into a accident with the car, and he keep trying to start it up after he crash and thats why my tuners thinks the rings are fired...

You should try squirting oil into the cylinders and see if compression gets better...
Theres a possibility when your brother kept trying to start it that he fuel soaked it which could have washed down the cylinder wall causing the rings to not be able to seal fully. Squirting oil could possibly allow them to seal. Just a thought

You should do a leak down. If you hear the air escaping via the oil cap then it is the rings. If you hear air escaping via the intake manifold or exhaust manifold/turbo then it would be the valves. Maybe you have a valve not seated perfectly?
But with compression like that it sounds like rings or a cracked piston maybe.
If money is tight then you could just change rings but I think a hone is needed. The smarter guys on the board will know.
