In US because of the cost of parts, and sadly the effects of destructive overheating [warped heads and cam bearings, hla failures, etc] we just secure a newish JDM junkyard engine, swap, and start over.

Obviously from other post {NZ and AU} there are builders in both countries.

How hot did you get it? When I overheated mine, it melted the knock sensors, cooked the oil, and I got a nasty burn off the rocker covers.

Tho I've heard from stock car engine builders that these motors get pretty damn hot sometimes and they seem to be ok. Mine clearly wasn't though!
