    I'll give that a go, the nissan dealer I live near has a dick that runs the part dept and the one near my work the guy is competent but 90 years old so things take forever. I'll have to call the one up next to Camelback Toyota haha

    I’ve built 4 cylinders, a few American v8s and one v10 triton (well the 4 cylinders are rebuild to factory and so was the v10)

    I’ve always wanted to build a 3 rotor

    Nah, the VG30E is a beast of an engine, stock bottom end has been known to hold 700HP and the stock heads and cam can get well into 500hp range. It's cheap, reliable engine for making power

    They're not really complicated compared to a typical Otto engine, but they aren't all that reliable
