Re: Burning Oil ='(

["Ryan Schuermann" <rts@phoenix.net>]

speaking of rings..I know mine are shot..my bumper above my exhaust 
is getting black..@#@#$@%..so...is replacing the rings whatever a 
hard task? What do I need? I can easily remove the intake manifold 
to get to the head gasket cover thingy that covers the engine..and I 
think once i pull those bolts i need to buy some raceware stud bolt
kit ir something and a torque wrench..that what else do i need 
besides the o rings? once I pull the engine top of is it an easy swap 
or will I have to remove the cams..and retime and all that technical 
crap?..or do I let a shop do it?
