Default How much is a ring job

My car is smokin like a mother at WOT I think it needs rings. The car has 81,000 miles. How much are the rings and how much of a pain in the *** is it to replace.

What color smoke? If black its more than likely running too rich, or did you already go through diagnosing?

I agree with the above. Diagnose the problem before you start pointing fingers at rings. You could have a tuning issues somewhere that could be fixed a lot cheaper than replacing the rings <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
