Conner is the GT engine the same as the previous years T500? If so they can always get everything the trash can can hold from Luzinimage.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Been told the cranks are slightly different (crank ends for sure) from a reliable source. Not sure if the main and large end bearings are different or not, but likely the same. If not, doubt that availability is any better.
I also would avoid the Cruising Image bearings. Too many questions, too many bad things said.

I had one of my projects really stuck like that, and I had to resort to using a puller setup to push the piston down. I did put a woodblock on the piston. I was fortunate in that the studs are full length so I removed them. Once I got the cylinder up enough, I pulled the wrist pin, and used a BFH and vise to pound the piston out. Worst I've ever seen. Crank was just as bad.
