can i just re-ring it?
a few months back my oilpump driveshaft snapped on my way home and i drove the car for about 5 minutes to get home (i know i know im a dumbass) anyway, since then it burns a quart of oil every 700 to 1000 miles depending on how hard i beat on it, before this happened it would only burn a quart every 3000 miles, i pulled the motor and put new bearings in
so my question is, should it be mostly the fault of the rings being worn from 110,000 miles and the 5 minutes of no oil pressure?
if so will just re-ringing it be ok for another 1.5-2 years until i build a new motor the right way, i havent done a compression test yet but i know it wont turn out good anyway
i know its not the right way to do it, but have anyone of you just done a re-ring and it turn out ok?
