My intention was to pull the engine apart to check that it is not needing an initial rebuild. By pulling the engine apart, I only mean the sump and head off. The small cost in gasket sets would be worth it, even just for peace of mind.

In my first questing in the original post, I was asking if parts are available, like pistons, timing chain, guides etc, or any other part that I may find worn out.
If, after pulling the engine apart, the engine was found to be worn, I would like to be able to buy parts relatively easy, and not have to pay inflated prices as my understanding was that these engines are becoming more and more rare.
You have told me that parts are not impossable to get. <whew!>

To re-word my second question:
What is the minimum involved (and ballpark prices) in getting a jap-import wired up and running? ie:
- new efi loom,
- new computer,
- reworked turbo?
- intercooler,
- surge tank?
Note that this engine has never been wired up and run in australia. It is completely stock as jap-imports are.
