I'd say you answered your question... you need rings, probably overbore.

Could be scoring in the cylinder walls and/or oval cylinderss.

Probably a bit of all.

I've never tried it, but have had friends who have had good results with "Restore". I recall there being two types. A cheapo on in a plastic bottle, and a more pricey ($10+) one in a metal bottle. I'd give that a try.

If it works, great! But it's a band-aid. Not a fix. Basically plan on an engine rebuild, or sourcing a better engine.

Any history on teh motor? Is it original? Has it ever been rebuilt? (you'll find out if/when you get into it). they are good for maybe 3-4 rebuilds. Unless it's a B18 that's been punched out to a two liter, in which case.. it's done for or needs sleeved.
