try to see the sparkies first. and ur spark leads see if any oil puddles on it.
ur car wont last long. and u gonna paying more fuel den u have too..
i suggest u to get a low millage engine. and put it in.. instead of rebuilding it.
rebuilding will cost you more..
if you are not thinking to keeping the car for long just swap engine.
ahh k then...
man...gotta find me a motor...
yeah its probably the rings.
my camry did the same thing.
sits hi and low on idle. poors out smoke ramdomly while on idle. chewed oil like no tomorrow.
got the head gasket fixed..
and still munched oil. and idled up and down and still blew smoke.. then 2 weeks later it was a camry but sounded like a rexxy. changed the leads and spark plugs thinking it was that since the head gasket was fixed. but then realised it was piston rings. one cylinder seized up then sold it for $400.
running on 3cyl.. then GG for the motor. then i got a civic
LOL
how much did it cost to get head gasket fixed?Quote:

take it to a mechanics and do a leak down test might be a quick fix or an expensive one..Quote:
