Fix or part out? Since it starts can I just put on a new radiator and water pump and drive it until it dies or can't pass emissions. I assume if the rings are toast it will burn oil! I'm a busy guy. I have everything I need to the compression test. If it starts and passes the compression test I would think the cylinders look pretty good. Wouldn't I have wanted to do a bore scope before starting it?
