hello, if your gonna do a ring job, you will probably need oversize pistons as well .they are around 350 a set of 8 rings are around 175 -210 a set the intake gasket is a steel one piece vally pan, also the cylindres will have to be bored over to fit new rings ,pistons the cost to bore is around 40.00 per bore 320.00 total for bore /hone job doing just rings are fine if you wont own it long ,but the piston bore clearance must be maintained for optimum performance and longevity might as well get a valve job too ,the guides are probably loose which will contribute to your oil consumption issue ,after that you should put new rod bearings in about 185 a set as well as main journal bearings 250 a set its not cheap to rebuild one of these motors but it will out live you thistime!!! if you do it do it right !!!
