oil consumption = no modding
In a lot of cases, the V2 isn't much better than the V1. I think building the V1 (.20 over bore, pistons, rings, rods, crank, etc) would yield much better results than swapping a V1 for a V2... At least in a project build, you get to choose the components that go into the engine. Just my 2 cents.

But
My biggest thing is if your gettin blow by. Your probably also not putting down the power the engine is suppose to.
