Blown piston ring

Misfires on cyl 1 and did a comp test and got 150 on cyl 3&4 and 145 on Cyl2 and 65 on Cyl 1. Pressurized cyl 1 and heard hissing out my oil dipstick tube and oil cap. So I'm either buying Wiseco pistons and a KY Stage 3 clutch and pulling my motor to install those or getting stock LDK Rods and Pistons and a KY S3 clutch. Opinions?

Guess it depends on your power goals if you just wanna stay stock with a little upgrade get Gen 3's. If not and you wanna go more power then go with Wiseco.

I vote getting credit card out and going LDK. Not much cheaper to rebuild than to just buy the LDK shortblock.
