you don't fix piston rings. if you have bad rings you have to pull the piston and replace them. on most vehicles you have to pull the engine, then you take off the heads and oil pan. unbolt the caps from the bottom of the rod and push it out the top.
The piston rings create a seal between the piston and the cylinder wall.
put in new piston rings or rebuild kit for the entire motor
You must replace the piston rings. That means TIME FOR A REBUILD.
You can buy the rebuild kit on ebay ...just remove the head and the piston will still be on rod..remove clip and rod pin...and piston and rings will be in your hands
Gently, they break easily. They also make tools to R&R piston rings to avoid breaking the rings.
bad piston rings or a bad cylinder all together look up a rebuilder bad piston rings or a bad cylinder all together look up a rebuilder Worn piston rings and or bad valve seals. Could be from high mileage or poor maintenance either way there is no cheap fix.

The piston rings are fitted round the piston to make a better gas-tight fit in the cylinder.
Running an engine with broken piston rings will cause damaging scoring in the piston chamber, and is not to be recommended.
The piston rings in the motor are bad. Very expensive fix.
rebuild top end (NEW RINGS, MAYBE PISTON, AND HONE OR BORE CYLINDER)
It is a spring metal sleeve that goes over a piston to compress the rings so that the piston can be install in the motor. It tightens down on the piston, forcing the rings into the grooves in the piston then you tap it into the cylinder.
