@ mazdanoob .
Their warranty for turbo/supercharged engines is crap.
Its like a 7 day warranty from time of purchase.
So It takes ...what 5 to 7 days just for shipping to me.
And then they want it to be installed by a professional shop and running. Only then will they do anything about warranty issues.
So, If I installed it I wouldnt have a warranty, plus by the time I got it 7 days would have passed.
To add to this issues the motor was missing items like the injector resistor pack , the knock control sensor box .
Thankfully I was able to track those items down.

This was the good news of the day !!!!!
So, I finally got some time to make up some new gaskets for the top spolier and mounted it today .
Want to know the bad ??
Well I picked up my block from the machine shop and got it home .
proceeded to bolt it to the engine stand. Once it was on I spun it around to expose the bottom end .
I was planning my day of reassembly....
But I had to take a double take to what I was seeing ... I was and still am sick to my stomach .
I thought the machine shop had caused this damage to the block . So I checked all my pictures of the tear down .
How the hell did I miss this F*ckin hole in the block !!!! I am so stupid and embarassed to even admit I did see it .
The block is usesless..
When I did my tear down I didn't find any sign of metal or water in the oil pan or the crank case , the piston & rod etc. had no sign of damage.
So I dont even remeber seeing this hole , and due to no signs of damage I had to of totally over looked this . I still dont know how .
I also am shocked that the machine shop didn't see this after all the time they had it and all the machining they did to it.
I have had lots of work done by them in the past and I know if they see any problem they call me to tell me if there is a issue ... but they didn't say a word.
So there goes a bunch of money to machining for nothing , plus now I have to source another block and do all the machining again ...
I am really really rethinking this whole GTR engine swap ... its had a bad omen from the start.
Looking at selling all the parts off and try to cut my loses.. this f'in sucks !!!!!Last edited by 323Permin; 08-30-2012, 10:34 PM.
