OK so update time...
Motor bits now with a second engineering shop as SPARTAN MOTOR ENGINEERING does not know what the F!@# they are doing. Hopefully they can sort out everything and I can rebuild. I however got my rings from Nissan but still awaiting the thrust washers.
Ordered a new oil pump through Jerry @ Import Parts as it was helluva lot cheaper than agents.... (R2900 VS R3900). I really have to say that Jerry has only but given me great service. Sometimes you wait a little for stuff to come from the US etc. but never has he ever spun me a story. If he forgot to order something he forgot and he tells me. I hate liars...
List of stuff I am waiting for:
Oil pump - import parts
Main bearings - import parts
Thrust washers - Nissan
