Hello all, Im new here. I recently bought a 79' 1200 ute to fix up for my first car its completly stock except for 120y disc brakes on the front. The engine has had some water in one of the cylinders but i got the head shaved and got new gaskets which has fixed the water problem but now the car is blowing alot of blue smoke. I think it needs new rings which would cost a fair bit. This has made me wonder if its worth getting the rings replaced or getting another engine like an a14/15 or something newer and more reliable like a CA18 ?

Thanks
Jake
