Unfortunately my ca18 shat itself - compression in cylinders was 160, 160, 155, 120. drove worse than the a12!

I am forced now to take the engine out (probably cracked piston ring) and was wondering if there was anything i should tell the engine rebuilders to do when it's out.

What are the advantages and costs of these things for example:
chrome/moly rings, balance crankshaft, forged pistons, o-ringed head. Obviously i will fit a new clutch, any ideas here? Will forged pistons extend the life of the engine?
are the standard pistons ok for slightly increased boost to 10psi?
Any other ideas will help!!!
thanks, justin
