also, just curious, how did you determine that you have blowby in cylinders 1 and 2? did you do a compression and/or leakdown?

Im not getting AP2 rings. I would be getting the banjo bolts, correct?

If you do just a compression you can get false leads such as misadjusted valves, head gastet, or others. To be more precise about it you have to do a leakdown. Got air coming out of my oil fill cap so that leads me to believe it's the rings or worst case...damaged cylinder walls.

Also, if I do have to bore my cylinder walls, how far over will I have to go? I hear .020, .030, and .040 over when you deal with American motors but I've never heard of what you would take a f20 to if you have to bore the cylinders.

Our blocks aren't good for boring. They get sleeved.

Air coming out of oil cap could be bad PCV valve (stuck).

Yes, AP2 banjo bolts (oil jets) on your AP1 block.

Look for a used block, (in good shape obviously), and a good stroker kit.

Or get a used low mileage motor from a junkyard.

So where could I find sleeves? Would it be worth me replacing the sleeves or buying a used short block?
