Thanks man. I think I GST will spec all the parts needed. Mike said he they are going to open it up by Thursday. I was going to originally get a JDM oil pump because it flows better but I ended up just going with a cosworth modified one which is supposed to be good too because they had it on hand.

The whole build up will take about 2 to 3 weeks... and included are some goodies like JE Pistons, ACT 6-puck and an ACT Flywheel :-)

Hang on, you could be in for a bumpy ride. Hope you've been saving your allowance.

Ya, I think I am good money wise, although I was worried for a bit. I just ended up getting a 401k loan that came through so its good because once you pay it off the interest goes back to you... sort of like borrowing your own money, much better then maxing out a 20% APR credit card.

Nice ride Marc. when you get to finally take it out let me know how it feels. I have been eyeing the Cusco coilovers as a replacement when teh Zeals go bad. hopefully not for a long time.

Man, I can't believe how much **** you got from them! Fortunately, most of us aren't like that . Good luck getting everything figured out...I too am curious as to what the issue was with your motor.

Motor replacement simply is NOT as straight forward as many might imagine. Murphy's Law begins to hold more truth than ever before. I wish you the best of luck in your motor build. Try to take things with a grain of salt when and if they don't go as planned. For gods sake if you find the hole you dug starting to get deeped, climb out before you're in over you head. If this begins to happen, get in touch with someone who has experience heading down this road. Like I said it gets bumpy.
