You can get used F20/F22 for much more reasonable prices than on eBay. PM me and I will be happy to connect you with a warehouse in Sacramento stocked with plenty of F series engines. I recently bought my F22 with 100k miles for 2800 
In my opinion buying a stock bottom end is the most reliable way to go.

He reported this: "... I did my own leakdown test. Cylinder 4 has 50-60% pressure loss, couldn't hear anything through the intake or exhaust but lot of air coming out the dip-stick." Doesn't that mean air is getting by rings, not valves?

If no air passes the rings during normal operation would we still need a PCV system?

The oil system picks up moisture from the air, so even with a perfectly sealed set of rings, the vaporization of said moisture during operation needs to have a relief, ergo the PCV.
