Re: whole engine

Sounds like valve stem seals to me, COULD be guides, but either one of those are a LOT cheaper than rings, heck you can do valve stem seals without removing the heads if you are careful. Trust me, do a compression check and/or a leakdown check, even if you have a dealership do it, it'll be worth it to see where you stand before you tear anything apart.
