Mechanic says labor for installation of new rings is $115.
Alignment such as wheel alignment?

That's kind of crazy low, since it requires taking head off and the oil pan off, basically taking the engine all apart. Most people take the engine out of the car and totally rebuild it rather than attempt a "ring slap."Mechanic says labor for installation of new rings is $115.
Good afternoon,
I am thinking about getting another 1990 corolla diesel since the one i drive averages about 35mpg most of the time and parts are fairly available and not that expensive.
Pros of the one i seen
original lhd not converted rhd to lhd like mine
A/c works apparently ven though we tested it at night whichnis not so good a test as in day.
Cons:
Owner says it gets21 mpg.
has an oil leak from valve cover
Engine temp felt hot when hand is placed close to it. More than the one i drive.
I would like to get it as another economical daily driver as other vehicles that are driven are way too thirsty ie izuzu dmax double cab pickup 2.5 diesel.
Seller is asking 2100$ i will see if i can post pics
Thanks
