Truthfully it was not even at fault to your own which was the hugest downside. A lack of online information regarding the rings really does make all the more difference between a very successful rebuild and catastrophic failure. An unfortunate ending but a very successful process i will be using towards one day taking out my current 2.5L and swapping a used one in

I don't think the rings were he real problem here, it's more like a combination of overheating and the previous repair involving new liners installed that I missed. Yeah, this much work for a 20+ year-old car which can fail any time for some other reason is not really worth it. Regardless, I'm just about to do another rebuild like this which makes me an idiot for sure.
