Re-ring....
Re-ring....
found a premium re-ring kit at advance auto parts and was wondering how exactly do you do this. i dont really wanna have to pay someone to do it. i was going to buy a reapair manual too. or should i just leave this up to a prefessional?

if your going to install new rings, you might as well do a full rebuild since youll be tearing it down anyways. but it depends on if you have the tools and confidence to do it. my friend and i rebuild his ka24e and it runs fine besides the occacional bogging right after startup that alotta ka's have.if your going to do it yourself, grab the fsm and start gathering tools and parts that youll need. if you find out that you cant do it yourself, take it to a shop. it would cost a little less since its already torn down.good luck.EvillE423 wrote:found a premium re-ring kit at advance auto parts and was wondering how exactly do you do this. i dont really wanna have to pay someone to do it. i was going to buy a reapair manual too. or should i just leave this up to a prefessional?

It's not a very complicated thing for someone to do with fair mechanical skills, however as stated you do need to have the factory specs and some specialized tools (micrometer, dial indicator) and know how to use those tools. If this is a car you use every day and you have not done much engine work, leave it to a professional.
