Hey I been burning oil lately so I took it to the dealership and they said my piston rings and valve seals are shot and they recommended me getting a new engine or selling the car. I think their just trying to get me for $7,000 for a new engine. Anyone ever replace piston rings or valve seals, how much should it cost. They told me it wasn't worth replacing them.
I have a '91 hatchback, 95,000 miles, and I've been using Mobil 1 5w-30.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
John
