I was kinda figuring... sounds like the best thing to do is to drop off the heads, block halves, crank, rods, and pistons at a shop and have them clean and assemble the long block.
If Cory will let me steal some time over at Nissan to use the parts washer, I can clean up the oil pan and related parts, and the oil cooler is getting replaced with something larger, so that won't need cleaning.
Speaking of oil cooling, there are two ports on the oil pump that are capped off... is that for a factory oil cooler? Can I ditch the relocation adapter and just run AN or pipe fittings off those ports?
