So i was driving home from work and by the time i get home i can smell oil really bad. I popped the hood to find oil pretty much everywhere.. The oil dip stick had blown out of the tube and looks like that was where the oil blew from..

Im thinking that i may need new rings and possibly hone the cyl walls. Whats your thinking? Anyone know of a reputable place where i can buy a new/refub motor that i can drop in while i rebuild/Build this one?
 
I'd check comp/leak down before condemning the motor. You experienced blow-by for sure, but the question is why. You could just have a bad pcv valve or inadequate crankcase ventilation. Worst case, you are correct and need new rings. In that case, I'd just focus on building a solid motor once while it's out of the car instead of buying/building/swapping 2 motors.
 
I've replaced the Pcv valve last week. Only problem wiylth just building this motor is that this is my DD and will take me a little to.complete a full build on this motor, so I need a good donor motor for the time being while I build this one. I prefer a new or rebuilt motor so that when I am done with the build I will have a good strong motor as a back up just in case anything happens.
 
I have the same problem with my talon! I even replaced the Pcv valve! I'm just going to build the motor because that's what I planned to do this winter anyways.
