i mean ya got a 1.6GSI engine, you could pick up another one that aint burning oil for less than £400 and it would be a straight swap, all it would cost ya is a cambelt for good measure and oil/fluids | |

agree with miles, while my engine was in pieces i got every thing done, its cheaper in the long run to do it, a 2litre will cost about £1500 fitted so its yor call matey, my cars been off the road for months getting sorted should be back any time now, half way through a 2litre was nearly put in but i decided aginst it for some reason!!!! hope you get it sorted | |

New rings are about £60, but you will pretty much need an engine rebuild to fit them. Unless you take the head and sump off, give it a hone in situ, with plenty of rags covering things up, then refit the pistons/rods. | |

If ya having ya piston rings changed cos they are fried and ya burning oil then ya bored will be more than likely glazed, you will need to rehone the bored and get oversized rings fitted, i didnt bother to do this i had mine rebored and fitted bigger pistons, like you said its an involved job i would say ya looking at £400-500 maybe more cos the engine gotta come out that would be just for the oversized rings | |
