Guys. and if applicable chicks.. i need someone's help.. My gemmy's leaking oil majorly and i'm about to screw the motor unless i continually put oil in it like every hour or replace the rings & bearings but as u know replacing the rings & bearings aint the best or the quickest job around. Now I've got a manual 1.6ltr isuzu motor at the moment and i want to know about prices for rings & Bearings compared with buying say a recon motor or one from say trading post. ( but again i might be faced with the same problem of oil leaks and stuff. My engine had also water leaking but i replaced the radiator and water pump and that side of things works great

any help would be great

id definately say do the rings and bearings over buy a new one, unless its under warranty.
some people do really dodgy things to motors... and besides its not like a gemi motor is heaps complicated, do the work at home and itl be cheap as.
