Hey guys,
So my car (Corolla AE101) has been reducing oil lately, drops down to half the dipstick after 1000km's. When revved high it'll blow out white smoke, when it's on idle it won't. Having read up on it, it's probably the piston rings that need to be replaced.
I wanted to know if anyone has had this done on their AE101 & how much it would cost? Is it necessary to get the valve seals replaced at the same time as well? If it's a long & complicated job is it advisable to go for a new engine or maybe change the complete head assembly instead?
Would appreciate some advice on this, thanks.
