Default RE: stopped running???

An engine can lose all of its compression in 500 miles if it's driven hard! However, it is possible that your head gasket has blown out so it is leaking all of its compression. Check that out before you get all worked up about the car.

If it turns out that the engine really is fried, then you should either rebuild the whole thing (not just piston rings) or get a new or better engine.
