yep yep. just hit me up. now i have to figure out what to do for wrist pin locks since the pistons didnt come with them. the spec sheet says .866 pin diameter, and .063 wire lock type. i emailed cp about this, but not exactly sure where to get these at. but i'll be dropping all the bottom end goodies along with the block to get it bored out (.003" piston-to-wall clearance), resurface the comp flywheel, then once i figure out this wrist pin lock thing....get the bottom end parts balanced.

a lil bit of good news. since i got shut down by infiniti and my extended warranty for motor replacement. the rep was at work today and my shop manager got him to spot me up to $500 towards rebuild parts....so im happy bout that atleast! this means ill get the oil pump, water pump, thermostat, hr headbolts, hr headgaskets, flywheel bolts, crank bolt, pilot bushing, and gotta add a few moar things to get as close to $500 of warranty cost as i can! so that saves me like $5-600!!!!!!

got denied by infiniti consumer affairs cuz my car was "out" of warranty. the reason i called them was cuz i knew i was "out" of warranty but asked for assistance. my extended warranty wouldnt cover piston rings in my policy. they list all internals including the rings in the engine coverage but have WORN piston rings in their exclusion list. makes no sense being the motor was stock, the car had good service history with the dealership, and only had 66k so WORN piston rings arent really that possible. they would cover valve stem seals however, but not rings. either way i said screw it, cancelled my extended warranty so ill be seeing a refund from them. and my boss is finally gonna give me $500 worth of parts at warranty price which helps.....something is better than nothing right? lol
either way, stay tuned guys. it'll prolly be a couple weeks before my machinist gets my ish done...hes a busy man, but a slow one at that. :/ so im working on the plenums and my friend is workin on portin the heads with his spare time.
