Get compression readings first.
That will tell you about the rings. Might be a head problem.

My 1971 MGB has oil on the #2 spark plug. Does this mean I am in for a 
complete engine rebuild? I have put over 100K on the car in the 8 years I have 
owned it and god only knows what it had on it before I bought it.

If so, how much $$ in parts and machine shop costs should I expect if I do 
the rebuild myself. Any recommendations for a first timer?

Thanks

Tim
