Doesn't sound like rings. Don't gunk up your engine with oil additives. Rebuild is probably gonna cost more than the car is worth. The most expedient solution is probably to do nothing. The car will probably last the miles you want out of it anyway. Buy a case of cheap oil, then drive it into the ground. R.M. (love your car) Mottola Cyborg Corp. Newton, MA.
