Dear C.R.earle: I presume they did a compression test, else how do they know its bad rings. Does blue smoke come out the exhaust?? I am not a mechanic but seems to me if you have oil under the hood sprayed around it may be related to a gasket. In any event, should you need/want to do a Factory Rebuilt job, mine cost $2,000 US which I guess equates to about $3,000 C. ?? If you have that done you will get everything new except the block and head. Valves I believe they polish and only replace if necessary. While engine is pulled you would be wise to replace the water pump with a new one and have the engine mounts inspected. In fact anything around that area as no labor involved once engine pulled just price of parts. I even had the transmission main seal replaced, along with engine mounts etc. JDN
