Hey, I've got bad oils rings in my redtop sr20. Its still got good compression on all cylinders, new valve seals, the crankcase is properly ventilated, but it smokes big time on acceleration. I've been planning on replacing the pistons with .2mm oversize, but the budget is getting tight, so my question is this: If the bore isn't scored up, could I get away with just getting a new set of rings and a good re-hone? Has anyone else had this experience?
thanks
