Re: Uhoh, Not Piston Rings, Please!?

its probably valve seals. the easiest way to be sure your piston rings are good is to do a compression test. buy a tester at autozone ($25) test each cylinder and then put a squirt of oil in each cylinder and check them again. i forget what the numbers should be but the bigger the difference between the dry and wet readings the worse condition your rings are in
