Funny you should ask.  After putting a "basement" 110 in the parts  
Corsa, it had incredible blowby.  Tried all the additive miracle  
cures, but nothing worked, so the next choice was sell it as is, or  
keep it.  #1 son says "keep it" and has been helping me out on the  
teardown, so we're doing a piston and barrel transplant with the  
parts from the old engine in the red Corsa (autocross car).

Of course it couldn't go perfectly, one of the studs backed out, but  
I put it back in and test torqued the head (to 35 ft lb) and it held,  
so I think we're ok.  I did a quickie deflash on one head, so the  
"ultra" barrels start going in next weekend.
