My car was overhauled about a year ago. Do I need to have it overhauled again? Is there any cheap way of replacing the piston ring without overhauling the engine?

What happens to the engine if I continue to use my car with a damaged piston ring? Wala pa kasing budget sa ngayon e.

Do you know of any shop you can recommend who can do the above repair at a reasonable/cheap price in Makati/Pasay area? How much would I need to budget for the repair?

it seems that your car is burning oil already, possible yung piston rings worn out na or baka nag stock up lang yung oil rings and piston rings sa piston due to carbon deposits or may tama na yung cylinder liner mo, if thats the case sleeving lang ang kailangan kung gusto mo ibalik sa standard size ang bore ng cylinder or the other way reboring palitan lang ng mas malaki na piston depende sa bore na gusto mo but the catch is malakas ang hatak, malakas din lumamon ng gas. change the bearings also main and connecting rods this is the very secret formula kung mag ooverhaul, kasi ang iba nag sasabi na ok pa yung bearings balik na lang natin thats not a good idea kasi may play na yung lumang bearings sa crank saft at sa connecting rod ng piston baka mag co cause pa ng stock up.
