I can't get this done now but I'm trying to make plans and want to run
a few things buy y'all.

I'm fairly certain that the blue smoke I'm spewing is from worn rings.
By waiting to fix this problem am I doing significant damage to the
vehicle?

Also, if I go to have the rings replaced should/can the valve seals
get inspected along the way? Should they automatically be replaced?
Can they be inspected and if found to be in bad shape replaced without
doing nearly all the work required to replace the rings?

How much does it cost to have both things done? I live in Vancouver
BC.

Some might suggest that buying a new (second hand) engine would be
cheaper but then I wouldn't know what condition the rings were in on
that engine so to be safe I should just have the rings on the original
engine replaced, yes?

The odometers was reading about 170K KM when the smoke started.

thanks
Eric
