I talked to a few of the mechanics I would like to keep the car as a beater.. but I figure in the meantime I might do some upgrading to the engine. Anyone else feel free to suggest anything. I'm all ears.

So what were the rings doing? Carboning up and hanging in the pistons, rubbing away, gaining gap?

I only ak because it would seem that there has to be an aftermarket for these engines with better than original parts. Or so one would think.
