    I don't think you will be able to get a set of rings for one piston. You are better off replacing them for all 6 cylinders to maintain consistency across the board.

    How much of a PITA was it to get the engine out, between you, the wife and a few others I've decided to keep the car. Just need a hand getting the engine out of the car.

    getting the motor out is pretty easy. getting the motor AND transmission out is a little trickier.

    LMAO!!! I remember the old days...18-19 years old dropping the trans out of my buddie's old Malibu (RWD) with a block of wood and a floor jack. Ahhh..the good old days!!

    I just picked up an engine hoist and engine stand last weekend, just have to assemble them. If you get a picker, go to Harbor Freight, I got a picker and stand for about $200 for both. I went to the one in Arlington Heights, it's a pretty cool store, lots of toys!
