Ok, I finally got the clutch fixed in my '98 ITR. Next project is the motor. It is burning a lot of oil...about 3 qts in 1,000 miles (No, I don't let it get that low, but in a mileage figure). I held a piece of white paper behind the exhaust, and had my friend press the accelerator and it left a nice coating of oil on the paper. It's time for new pistons and rings. Here's my dilemma; if it is leaking oil, when I replace the pistons and rings, should I bore it .25mm over, or just replace the pistons? For just pistons and rings, it's about $800-1000 labor, but to bore it over, its about $2300. Thats a big difference, but I want to do it right. Any opinions?

Thanks,

Matt
