I went to the machine shop today to look at the head. The machinist suggested that with as much oil that had collected behind the valves, I might have blown rings. Is it possible to replace them without removing the block? Would it be a good idea to do it anyway while the head is off? If so, what replacement rings would you recommend? Thanks for your help.

Replacing the rings really means rebuilding the bottom end of the motor. You might be better off swapping in a good motor from your slant pile.

Unless this is a recently rebuilt engine that might suffered some kind of ring failue which i doubt becaust oil ring is the botem ring it is probaly has worn compression rings. The only thing that will fix that is a engine rebuild. Since cylinders wear like a egg shape after a lot of miles that is why 99.99 percent of the time on a street engine it will have to be bored larger to get it back round. Thanks Ron Parker
