So i went ahead and bought this usdm type R motor. he fooled me really well if that type r block was ever used or is broken inside because i was not able to find one single sign wear and tear.... does the assembly oil ever go away? he said he had it covered indoors away from the sun but you can still see fresh assembly oil throughout the entire motor....

so couple of quick question as i plan to rebuild the head only over this three day weekend and just want to make sure i have all the parts before i get it machined and put back together....

I'm still not quite sure what kind of technical upgrades i will be getting if i were to upgrade the gsr cams, retainers and valve springs. Will stock gsr parts run normal and strong with the type R block while keeping the motor to last? will there be any settings and minor parts that is worth replacing such as fuel pump, tranny stuff, ecu, etc.... i'm so lost lol... so many "type R" parts and "gsr" parts out there when it is supposedly all the same stuff.... i do plan to change to a itr cluster... will my motor be sync to the type R cluster and will my redline be at 8.4k?

Thanks guys... i hope to put up some pictures once it's all ready to swap.... i still can't believe i got this bottom block as cheap as i did....
