Well, i got 0 compression in my 3rd cyllinder what looks like a blown piston ring. So the question is basicly for everyone who had a chance to take the engine out and do something on the internals or replaced them. How hard is it to get to the pistons, how long might it take and any tips/suggestions that u might gimme. This is really shitty, i ain't got mucho money to go to a dealership/shop to fix it, so it's either another ka or self-service. Please help with anything, cuz not having my car really sux. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

I'm planning on taking valve cover off and see if it's anything simpler, but doesn't look like it's gonna help any.
