if your oil rings are knackered due to your own mal-practice what makes you think the compression rings won't be or if not soon to follow?

if u can still get aftermarket rubber sump gaskets for EF-EL where can i buy one from? also because my bores have already been bore 30thou. is it worth using the acl rebuild kit and getting the bore to 40tho. because acl kits are only 0.50 and 1.00.

Tell me how a compression test is going to show the condition of the oil rings? wanted to see if the ring gaps are alright,valve stem seals-guides ok,he may not have deglazed the bores before the build,rings upside down or broken,oil rings not installed correctly.he may have a few right-----may be?

did a compression test just before and we got Cyl 1=140, cyl 2=130, cyl 3=122.cyl 4=119, cyl 5=129 cyl 6 we didnt do due to the compression tester did not reach to the hole but it is an old compression tester and readings kept changing so we are gonna go buy a electronic one instead. now i have a problem after doing the test the dam car wont start now any ideas?
