oil control rings
Hi everybody
I'm going to rebuild my 86 NA because of low compression and it was starting to smoke. Should I plan on replacing the oil rings? I have the viton inserts.

Definitely!! The last few engines I've pulled apart, the oil control o-rings inside literally broke apart in my hands they were soo hardened!! Oh yeah, I also suggest buying 2 tubes of HYLOMAR while rebuilding. If you're looking for a way to save money on you're rebuild, I have a full writeup list of parts from separate companies............only the best stuff, and it saved me $$$.
