Yep, rings prolly shot; boring makes sense. At least, it's a good excuse.
If you fit the head back yourself, put a shit-ton of gasket gunge all round the edges.
Use pukka mineral oil, do not skimp on that. But don't use the modern crap; gotta be something/50 not 40. Valvoline Racing, Castrol classic or someth. IDK if your manifold is uprated; if not, you want that; check LCB, lengthened centre branch. Probably want an extra oil cooler radiator in there, and maybe a better water rad/fan. G'luck.
