: Do a compression test on all cylinders. Do a test on each cylinder, and after each cylinder pour about 1 teaspoon of oil down the spark plug hole. I like to use a straw to minimize the mess. Repeat the procedure on that cylinder and if the readings increase significantly then there is your indication of worn rings. If they don't change much at all then that is an indication that the rings are sealing well. I wouldn't just jump on changing the rings without being sure that is your problem. Valve seals are much easier to deal with (pray for bad valve seals). How many miles are on your motor?
