Blew my motor!
i know i probably blew the piston rings or ring lands... but not too sure yet. one of the spark plugs had oil all over the firing tip. it sounds like its running and only 3cylinders and smokes like a ****!!! is it the rings or headgasket? i know its gone for sure but i'm just trying to pinpoint the exact issue. please help asap!

Re:Blew my motor!
i was just about to do a compression test but since one of the spark plugs was covered in oil at the firing tip, i already figured that was the cylinder that was gone! oil all over the spark plugs tip usually means what? ringlands right? and is it ok to do a compression test on that cylinder since it was covered in oil? i mean i already know that's the cyl. thats gone...

Re:Blew my motor!
yeah i figured that was it. i guess now my question is where can i find a good rod/piston combo for a decent price? and do i get "i" beam or "h" beam rods? can anyone point me in the right direction? thanks
