im not entirly sure.. i remmeber him saying something about rings could be piston rings perhaps.. i think imma just trash the car or run it into the ground...hate to do it that way but i dont think putting much more money into the car makes any sense to me. unless i can come across an engine for a fair price

i just called them and they have an engine with 59k miles and they want 650 for it plus 120 to ship it. so im lookin at 770 if i get it shipped. plus how much the mechanic wants to charge me to put it in. probably gonna be around 1000 dollars. not sure if i should fix it or not.
