Frustrated.. I think a ring is gone. What to do?
Please excuse me if I don't make much sense here. I'm running on a very little amount of sleep.
My car was showing signs of what I thought was a blown headgasket. I hired someone to replace it and it should be done later today. However, I believe that I wasted my money because the problem might be something far more involved...
Let's pretend that one of my rings is shot. How much trouble would I have to go through to forge-ify parts of my motor? I'm just talking rods, pistons, rings, and whatever other small things need to be forged. Not the crank.
Money is at an absolute minimum, as I don't have a job and don't have an extra hour in my week to get one.
What would a shop TYPICALLY charge to pull a motor and replace rods/rings/pistons? Additionally, what should I expect to pay for a setup like that (in parts)? I've been looking around at sponsors and whatnot, but I can't really find any solid pricing for a forged kit without the crank.
Any help would be much appreciated. I really hope I don't have to do this

Usually for what your wanting you need to call or e-mail sponsers. Thats why its hard to find a generic pricing for the parts. There's a group of different ways/manufactures to make up your combo. Just start calling people and tell them what your trying to do.

And if there is indeed a problem, we will need to keep the word "forged" on the down low
