I'm screwed

The piston rings are 99% likely what's wrong with it.. it was a big problem on that year 2.5 engines.

So I failed to mention I work at a Nissan Dealership, but that's only because I'm fairly new there.. I talked to a few of the mechanics I would like to keep the car as a beater.. but I figure in the meantime I might do some upgrading to the engine. Anyone else feel free to suggest anything. I'm all ears.

So what were the rings doing? Carboning up and hanging in the pistons, rubbing away, gaining gap?

I only ak because it would seem that there has to be an aftermarket for these engines with better than original parts. Or so one would think.

I'm still awaiting a diagnosis... I'm having a nissan mechanic (who happens to tune evos) look at the car tomorrow and help me decide what we're doing x_x.. I'll update soon.

The mechanic that looked at it today says my timing chain is bad at 76k x_x and he still wants to get under the head.. at this point I think a swap is barely more if not in the same price range... time to email travis.
