    if your rings are bad your looking at a labor intinsive job. "bad rings" refer to the piston ring <just as info>. to remedy this problem your would be dissassemblying the block. as far as which way to go. both have their ups and downs.
    if you swapped, you could put in a higher hp engine etc. take a bad time and turn it good by building the engine as well. this is costly.
    you could rebuild it, and rebuild it stronger with mods. this is also slightly costly.
    or just rebuild it.
    or just swap it. lol

    either way if you are going to do either make sure someone who is experienced is there to help. i personally would rebuild it but with higher comp pistons, cams, maybe some independent throttle bodies.....
    When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.
