Well this is my first post, I've been reading the forums for awhile but I'm about to replace the piston rings in my 94' DOHC 1.6l MX3 RS, so I'm asking for any help or advice anyone has to offer. I ordered the piston rings and a full set of gaskets last week off of eBay, they should arrive soon. I'm going to work on it with my father in his garage, so we should have most of the tools needed, any specialty tools that we might need? Any info you need just ask, and thanks for any help, it's greatly appreciated

I have a Hayne's manual for most of the technical info, but a quick walkthrough and some tips would be great since it's my first time working on an engine

. I do have access to a junkyard about a half an hour away, I saw about 4 MX3's last time I went, and I caught a MX3 rolling in on my way out but I didn't get a chance to talk to the owner

Also I do want to increase it's performance (turbo?/klze?) in the future, so keep that in mind if it matters for this

. If any one knows of good sites to get MX3 performance parts from that would be AW-SUM, most likely I'm doing the intake/exhaust next.
She runs great, nothing wrong with it besides 100k+ miles and she burns oil and smokes

Would this have been a better idea?
