earlier today I went back to work on the engine.
I removed the blown VVEL head to see if by chance the valve didnt hit the piston .
everything looked good on the piston surface !
good I was happy with this.
then I started unassembling the lower part of the engine to look at those crank journal.
not a single sign of scrach/groove !! beside where the Oil pump use to be but with some polishing the imperfection should be gone if needs be.
I assume the crank should be good enough to keep and tweak it a little bit before I install it in my spare engine !
atleast I got some good news from that blown engine. !

yeah trust me, my next setup will have a few device to fight agaisnt oil starvation !!! Right now I will pass on the drysump because I cant afford it at all. but that would surely be a project for 2014.
as for that Nismo oil pump .
do you know for sure if those race team actualy use the same that they advertise on that website ? I would prefer to order it from the US/Canada but I might have to get it from the link you provided
