Q: I need some advice on an engine rebuild for my 2004 Mazda 6
I currently have a lifter stuck in my engine which is also causing a misfire. I'm also burning up alot of oil through my exhaust which I was told I have bad piston rings. I have someone that is going to do an engine rebuild for me to fix those issues. But with tearing into the engine like that I am wondering what is the full complete replacement list of the parts that I need to do the job correctly.
My car has 155000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
