Since im new at the Z's should i be thinking about diving in head 1st after the rings.

I have no idea what im getting myself into(hope that comment doesnt offend anyone on here; i'm finding Z people despise car ignorance).

i need some advice, the cars my daily runner, how deep am I?

 

Take it to a reputable shop and have them diagnose / fix the problem.

 

ring swap is a BIG job. and it's not a very good idea to do it without at least a partial rebuild. your cylinders will need to be re-honed. someone may dis agree, but it's really a good idea to have it bored when you change rings. do some searching to find out how to check for sure weather the problem is rings.

 

boared ot honed?

 

sorry. you know what i mean. i'm not in a gramitically correct state
