OEM nissan main and rod bearings are fine for most cars, im using clevite 77 bearings, which is an old domestic trend, but i say if they can handle a 500hp v8 theyll handle my turbo KA.
otherwise, OEM oil pump, you can use a KA24DE exhaust cam on the intake side if your not getting some turbo cams, ARP rod and main studs, OEM crank, shotpeened and knife edged if you want, clean your oil squirters and replace all the bolts, make sure your rods and pistons are within clearance if your not replacing them. if you are, measure your cylinder hone to the actual piston instead of measuring to the specs you get with the piston. use new rings, OEM ones work fine, get ones with a chrome molybdenum top ring if you can, since its harder than the rest. the only thing is you have to be a little more careful breaking in the rings because harder rings take longer to seat and can damage cylinder walls if you try and beat on your car before they are seated.

hmmmm any more q's?
