lol, yea, dammit i always leave shit out...that motor (sohc zc motor) (yes sohc) was boosted, and it needed new piston rings too, but i dont think your poblem is with rings. he never got it fixed, he sold the car and then that kid re-boosted it. last i heard the kid was gonna rebuild the motor, ill find out how much, but i think if you take it a shop, they'll charge you out the ass for labor.
