i was wondering if anyone had any experience with the oil/sealer that is designed to seal your worn piston rings. i just recently did a compression test on my cylinders and came up with about 135 psi across the board. that's about 15 psi under min, and about 40 psi under normal. any help would be greatly apreciated. really don't want, nor have the time, to replace the rings. the engine is a 92 SR20DE with about 172,000 miles. thanks again.

Nothing much you can do about it at this point. Just keep on driving until you can afford to replace the motor. You can get the DE for about 400 dollars.

For a straight swap from de to de, I would go with soko motors. If you want a det, then tigerjapanese.com can't be touched on prices.
