    I have a 2001 civic si ( Canadian version) with a D17A2. The car runs great but is consuming oil. I was thinking of doing a ring job and getting the cylinder head cleaned up. Is this a good idea or should I just try to find a newer engine?

    If it is a currently running engine which no other issues like coolant consumption, oil/coolant mixing and unusual noises then I would go for piston rings and head gasket replacement. If not I would tear down and assess the engine before considering rings and gasket replacement.
