Hello there, i am wondering, my engine's low end is bad (smoking badly, needs rings, all that) and instead of paying tons of money for a rebuild, a friend of mine has offerred to give me a short block from a jdm motor he isnt gonna use and i want to take my head and all other parts off my bad motor and transfer them to the jdm block (which has pistons and balancing shafts and stuff in it). now, i can put the parts on myself with a little help from a haynes manual, but am worried about the cams, crank, oil pump and balancing shafts being timed correctly. is this part fairly difficult to do, are the gears marked for correct timing or not? just curious cause its gonna cost me 60.00 an hour to have a shop do this stuff and i dont have the money.
