Compression test says it all. If you have the means, replace the pistons and rings. And might as well upgrade the rods while you're in there. I assume people have good luck with ACL bearings on these engines?

2.1L Stroker Engine Group Buy - NASIOC
I'd get a MPS motor if I had money. Not necessarily this 2.1L Stroker but they have other packages and they're ****. Like more **** than Lance Bass, George Takei and Boy George locked in a room.

Ebay has some good deals with Pistons and Rods already installed.
Stock Pistons are TRASH!
