I posted a thread earlier asking about some piston damage in a '88 3800, Vin code C. Received some good answers. Piston Damage
Now the question is, what to do next?
Here is the situation in brief. The car needs to run until someone gets back on their feet. She recently escaped from a very sh***y situation. She has enrolled in some state sponsored programs and has her kids enrolled in school. Needless to say she has no money.
Based on the money situation this is what I was thinking; just replace the one piston and rings. The cylinder bore looked ok. The other cylinders still have decent compression. The car is in decent shape for it's age, 1988. She just needs it to run for a few months.
Anyone have any advice pro/con?
TIA
