I have bad piston rings. Which way should I go rebuild the motor or just buy new piston and rings? Or any other ideas I should consider? Drew or Don if you read this call me. I would like to speak with yall over this matter.

It really depends on if your cylinder bores are out-of-round and/or tapered and if your pistons are damaged in any way...

If they are still fairly round and not tapered very bad, you could get away with having the cylinders honed out, pistons cleaned up, and new rings put on...Inexpensive turbo V6 pistons are hard to come by, unless you put hypers in...I would tear it down and take it to a respectable machine shop and have it cleaned and checked out...then put it all back together, and keep on runnin'...
