What parts do I need to fix my oil burning 98 Toyota Corolla? I am doing it myself and have plenty of time.?

I know about needing a compression kit to test the piston rings, a PCV valve, and valve seals %26amp; gasket. Is there anything else that I may need for the job? Are there alternatives to doing this (such as a new or used engine or anything else)? How much would something like this cost at a typical mechanic?

I'd go for a rebuilt short block and change over your parts to the new block.
Reply:a comp. check not only checks rings, it will also let you know if you have a burnt valve, leaking head gasket, etc. the test will tell you if you have a leak in the combustion system. which could be alot of different things or a number of things combined. i would try using some cyl. fix. ie: rislone, or any other brand of sealer. you didn't say if it smokes when you start it or smokes under hard exceleration, so it could be alot of diff. things causing your prob., try to be a little more detailed when you ask something like this. it will help alot ,getting to the route of your prob. here in va. a used engine at a junk yard runs around $150.00 to $300.00 and you pull it yourself, be sure you get to hear it run before you buy, you might get something worse than you have. good luck!
Reply:Toyota 4 cylinder engines from about 95 to 02 were bad about burning small amounts of oil, if the oil consumption is excessive then the piston rings could be worn but its most luckily to be the valves seals seeping oil into the combustion chamber, valve seals are much easier to replace, running a compression test is helpful to know the wear on the engine, the compression should be about 85 to 100 psi
Reply:ok if theres no blue smoke coming out of your exhaust its not your pistons..to check if its your valve seals check to see if you have oil inside your spark plug holes if you its the seals,if you dont it can be your head gasket.....


EDIT.. ok you have to change your head seals then ...the reason you have more in that certain one is because the seals get hard over time n let small amounts of oil get in and its going inside your cylinders and that one is probally really worn out.. this must be fixed asap..what u have to do is go to an autopart store n buy the valve cover seal kit..it comes wit all the seals ... then u open ur valve cover..u take out ur spark plugs its best if u get new ones..u leave the spark plugs off put a rag in top of the seal otherwise itll b messy as hell...u crank the motor and all the oil inside those chambers wil come out...ur going to notice ALOT of smoke coming out of ur exhauts thats normal...so one the chambers are cleared u put the new spark plugs in and put in the new rubbber seals...put back the cover..and the problem should be solved u might see some smoke out of the hood thats from the oil still around ur engine bay but nothing to worry about
