Replace the rings?

How much would it be to replace the rings or the ring that is around the piston that is in the cylinder that is burning oil.? i heard its gonna be like 800$ cuz of labor. So my car runs fine and i'd rather save up for a new engine

How do you know it is a ring for sure? It could be a valve seal or something like that. They are easy and cheap to fix. How many miles are on your block? If it has alot of miles there is a really good chance that it will have to be BORED .030 to get the job done. There is no sense in throwing fresh rings in old wore out bores.
 
im looking at 700 right now for getting block diped, magnafluxed, stress releived, decked, all new bearings (including cam) and crank polished, all new piston rings. Only way i get it this cheap is becuase i took the engine apart myself and pulled the short block and gave it to them :shrug:
