I have the chance to buy a 2009 Toyota Corolla from my cousin. The dealer told him it had low compression and would need new piston rings. There s a good gap between the price I’d pay plus parts and the potential sale price to off set the Allroad repairs make some profit. What do you guys think?

Piston rings is a lot of labor, would a new motor be cheaper? lol

Even if they were, parts would probably be cheap. Even a whole engine.

the labor isn’t really a worry as its just beers in the driveway. I’m wondering if its over my head to do this

I’m sure there’s an OPPO nearby you with one you could borrow.

I think you’d just have to remove the head and oil pan to access everything you need to pull the pistons and rods out. Bottle brush hone the cylinders if they are in good shape and slap new rings in there. Slap that garbage back together and drive till the end of time.

What you really should be asking yourself is whether the Allroad drivetrain will fit in this particular Corolla...
