There's no point in replacing the piston rings. You have to completely remove and disassemble the engine in order to reach the rings. In light of the fact that you didn't know this, you should have the ENGINE replaced by a qualified technician.
You don't. The only solution to damaged piston rings is to take the engine block out of the car and replace the rings.
How much does a car cost?
you bring it to a shop
You might have bad piston rings, main cause of that because once you wear your rings out your gas is then able to seep past your piston rings into your oil and into your pan.
worn piston rings
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.
If you are mechanically inclined it is cheaper to replace the entire engine
The piston rings create a seal between the piston and the cylinder wall.
Yes, just be careful not to scratch the crank journals with the studs on the piston rod.
To replace the piston rings, you will nee to use a ring compressor tool or two pliers to remove the old rings. Place on the new rings, and scatter the gaps in the rings. Apply some engine oil to the rings so they are easier to get in place.
you take the top off then take the piston with the shaft out and put new rings lol its easy im 11.
