#10682, "What should I do? Engine with low compression..."


          

Well I've stumbled upon a 1990 Laser RS Turbo for a great price, but the only problem is that it ran very rough or even not at all sometimes. I went to look at it and did a compression test on the engine. Everything was good expect the #2 cylinder which came up with 90psi. I added some oil into the cylinder and it went up to 120psi. According to my test it shows that the piston rings are worn. What do you guys recommed to fix it? I don't mind pulling the engine or anything like that, but will it need a rebuilt or can I somehow just replace the piston rings? Also how much will all this cost me? And the plans are to repair the car and then sell it to make some money since I'm getting it for dirt cheap

Thanks
