Thanks for your comments, here is my thoughts on that?
I have been wondering that, however the car ran really well for a few days... which I think would have made a difference... And there was no smoke when you changed gears, took foot of throttle which is a sign of rings...
It was in a dry place... but you never know hey..
I have been planning on doing a compression test to see if that helps but that would only help on the compression rings... the oil rings might still be giving way...
If I have to pull it down so be it, but I was hoping to get six months out of it so I could plan this better
