Nice! It's going to be nice having a fresh motor. Are you going to keep it stock, or at least for now?

Hmmm.... Looks to me as though you've got some pretty beefy rebuild parts. Do I see a snail in your motor's future?

ok i took off that dreaded auto pilot bushing
i drilled it with a circular saw thing
then i chiseled it, while spinning the bearing around. chiseling it causes the bearing to come out slowly 
then pull 
more to come

thats not the point. On headbolts and other internal parts they need to be removed in a certain order, in certain stages.

+1 for handtools. I'll sometimes use impact guns to remove main bolts and head bolts. But it's rare for that to happen. Breaker bars ftmfw

yea the tool i used didnt work for me, it worked for some though. the way i did it was a chisel and hammering it out. it came out slowly. when i had enough space to put the vice grips on it, i yanked it. i fell on my *** but it sure felt great lol

Air tool with a chizzle at the end is your best bet. If you don't have an air tool, just use a hammer.
 Hit it in different directions like this, and it'll come out easy. Took less than a minute to take mine out.

The air chisel will work nicely! Still without air tools, it's very easy:
Get a nice sharp flat-head screw driver and a hammer and just cut it into pieces. They are made from very soft metal and the screw driver will cut through it very easily. Make three cuts through it and the pieces will pop right out.

I also struggled with getting that bushing out using the factory tool I borrowed from Nissan. I just didn't work. However, I found an easy way to remove the bushing. Take a very small drill bit and drill straight into the bushing 2 or 3 times right next to each other. The drilling creates a "swiss-cheese" effect. Then you take a good set of vise grips and clamp on that sucker so it will collapse and pull right out without effort. You may have to drill the exact opposite side as well to give flexibility, but I don't think I had to do that. All you really need is a good sharp drill bit and a steady hand.Just a tip for the next guy that's doing it.
My baby...
