The seal is being replaced with the head on. I'm going to do this and if it doesn't help then I will just be done with that engine. What I was planning down the road was a 2.4 Build, but I wouldn't want to get a used one and just put it in, I'd want a rebuild, mods, maybe turbo..the car's driven fine for months now, only issue is having to put oil in.
Just a question, can the oil expander rings malfunctioning cause excess oil to lbe the cylinder, causing a leak such as this?

Given my financial situation(making s--t for money and oweing the next few paychecks to DMV and such lol) it would cost too much to get the DOHC and clean it up for a temp as the 2.4 was a plan in the next few months. Honestly I'm just going to drive the SOHC till she blows up, its lasted 3 months and drives like a champ, just sometimes has a knocking sound which could be internal, valve, piston slap.... Needs an oil change too, the filter is 3 months old.
Engines from the JY are about 110 pulling, or 185 pulled so there dirt cheap and I can see fixing her up for 500 or less with some modding.
If I had a house(I live in an apartment and already got s--t for putting the engine in) and/or garage with friends to drive me around I'd be in a different situation but I'm kinda stuck here.
