Testing rings, I prefer a leakdown test. Usually you can hear a hissing noise in the dipstick while the cylinder is under pressure if the rings are bad.
Personally I would put a head on it and go if funds are tight.
Just sayin, engine can have really worn rings before completely failing. If they were on their way out, you'd have probably known it.
But can some one answer my question ----> is pouring oil in the cylinders an acceptable way to check for seized piston rings since the car had been sitting for almost 2 years???Last edited by rexjr919; 02-04-2013, 08:19 PM.

Oil temporarily seals the rings if the compression jumps more than 10-15% it is signs of worn rings or othe piston related issue.
oyajicool was telling you an old trick that is common and he was correct.
