oh god.do a compression test, u can get the tool for about 30 bux from autozone. if ur numbers suck ass, its probably ur rings. are u smoking real bad? if so what color? if its anything to do with ur head, which i doubt, and u dont feel up to the task, take the head to a performance shop, look for a place run by an older guy. there less likely to rip u off,and itll be cheaper then honda stealership. if its rings, u might as well do it urself.

these rings are for a 95 civic ex. this site is dirt cheap. how cheap ACL bearings will cost u atleast 100 bux off of honda-tech or any distributer, they have them for less then 30 bux, the site rules.
if u decide to do it ur self witht the rings, buy a ball hone. the stone hones are a pain in the ass to use, the ball hones are simple. ull need a torque wrench for ur head bolts, gircle bolts, and rod bolts. ull need some feeler gauges and a manual that has ring gaps, torque specs ets.
