Glazing and Burning Oil

RE: Glazing and Burning Oil
if the oil rings are broke there is no quick fix. if its valve seals they can be done without too much trouble with an upright spring compressor. if the cylinder walls are just worn and scarred they do make silicon based oil treatment that will actually burn itself into the scars and scratches and restore the compression somewhat but, its only a bandaid. if your gonna pull it out and break it down you don't wanna just hone the cylinders you want to bore it. honeing is not gonna last if the cylinders are wore. the rings will not fit tight and will leave a gap. if you bore it put some new pistons and rings and bearings it will basically be a new block and it will noticeable by the way it runs. good luck ... sick
