There are a lot of places I can have someone here in town look into it when I run into him next.

How is the engine running now?

Try to get a compression test done.That will tell the story.Once you get results ask was it done wet or dry? hot or cold?Then post results here.

Should tell us a lot right there.

And if the engine ever goes soon, the VG 30 series was in a lot of cars, shouldnt be all that hard to find.
