When the engine got new rings, did the mechanic have a machinist hone the cylinder liners? and no, that 3-stone shoe honer you attach to a drill doesn't count...
A very common freshman mistake is failure to address the quality of the liner-bore during a rebuild. I've seen this happen in all makes and models of cars. The best rings in the world can't compensate for liners that are out-of-round or have significant taper. Exactly how much is too much??? Anything over .002" won't allow the rings to seal.
