Someone said it's the piston rings, someone else said it's the oil rings. Is there a difference between these two things or are they the same thing with different names? And also how much approx. do you think it would cost to replace them?

Thanks much.
 
Anybody out there??? I know some of you are Einsteins with Honda's so anyhelp at all would be greatly appreciated. I recently got a job at an autobody shop, I'm trying to learn as much as i can with this stuff but i'm only a kid...so i'm just starting out, i can only go up from here. thanks though guys
 
there is a compression ring and a oil ring on the piston, you might as well replace both if thats what the problem is
 
alright, how much do those cost to replace approx???

thanks for the help also. =]
 
that will depend on who does it but it want be to cheap, because you have to take the motor all the way apart,it would prolly be cheaper just to buy a good used jdm motor
 
that stuff has to do with the head right?? i was thinking of doing a minime swap here this month...would that be a good idea or nahhh? Let me know what you'd do..

lol no it has nothing to do with the head the pistons are inside the block and the rings are around the piston
 
so basically fuck this engine an save my next pay check an get a b18c1??? =]
yea perty much,,,but if you are on a budget you can get a sohc jdm d15b vtec for about 500 bucks, that will drop right in and wire right up to everything you already have
 
alright that sounds good bro, thanks a lot!!!! for your help. I'm gonna do some thinkin on this for a few days. I can buy the sohc vtec right now an keep this car running, this summer I'm buying a realllllly nice 240 SX or a k20 Civic, an this was going to be like my project but I need it to run for a few more months. So if i got the cheaper one an used it for a while then sold it an did whatever to it, that'd probably work eh???

I'll order one tomorrow when I get home from work. Thanks again bro, you helped out alot, glad i didn't go get it worked on an paid like $800. =]
 
Yeah x2 for swapping the engine.. it's the cheapest way out of your situation as far as I can see.
 
Ya i'm going to see if I can have my boss order through his company an save me some money because it's an auto shop an i'm sure they can get a wholesale one? idk, i'll ask an probably order it tomorrow either way... how do i wire up the vtec though if my car isn't a vtec? and what version is my car as far as obd0, obd1, obd2??
 
you have a 92 obd1 and its a 92 so its already wired for vtec
 
Yes i just got your PM, alright an obd1.


Well sweeeeeeeet guys thanks much.

This all has helped soooo much. I think i added you both on my friends list if thats cool?
 
Make sure you get the ECU with it as well...
 
Yes sir.

Thats the one I was planning on. =] It should mount straight in an everything with almost none to no extra work besides putting it in? and what ecu should i go with??? the p08 or what you guys thinkin?
