Car: 99 Acura CL 2.3L 5-speed with 121k miles.
Symptoms of problem:
-Car smokes heavily, massive carbon buildup on bumper.
-Spark plug on second cylinder is drenched in oil. Plug tip is completely fouled.
-Burns about 4 quarts of oil every 2 weeks.
-When I refill the crankcase with oil, car will emit ALOT of smoke initially driving at moderate speeds.
After some research, I think this is being caused by stuck piston rings.
Can anyone confirm or deny this. If confirmed, is there anything I can do to try and free up the rings? I am trying to avoid an engine rebuild if at all possible. Thanks in advance.
