I hope this question isn't too basic. When I perform a search I get a ton of non specific answers..
So, I have a 3.0L that is really enjoyable expect for the fact that it burns oil.
I had the top half redone a couple of years ago. (Converted to PMO's, Carrera oil tensioners, MSD, etc). I didn't do anything on the bottom.
My car has a small drip and I know that adds to the oily smell and a bit of the smoke, but....
When I start my car I get LOTS of gray smoke. If I am at an intersection and I pull away there is good sized puff of the smoke.
My question is...can I just replace the rings or do i need to go with a new P&C set with the rings. Is it foolish not to do them both. I ask b/c there is NO way I can afford new P's&C's. I am hoping a re-ring would be vastly cheaper.
Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and here are pics of my little ol' engine!
thanks,
t.
