He told me his collegue has a complete engine and one in parts. I'll try to go there monday if he wants to bring me there. I'll keep you posted.

I'm still waiting for my parts anxiously, they should arrive in less then 2 weeks now.

Glad to hear your parts are arriving. Have no idea what shipping might cost, but I have a complete set of pistons. Yours for the cost of shipping should you need them.
Appreciate the pics the GDI engine should you be able to get some.

I have all parts now but i forgot about the oil pump. I think i should get an oil pump as well while i'm at it. They all seem the same so i hope i'll get the right one.

Were you able to get the sleeve installed? A new oil pump is always a good idea especially given your circumstances.

I have brought the engine for sleeving already. I am now stuck with the crankshaft. It has been damaged more then i thought. It will need second oversize. I am not too happy with that. I would like to keep the crankshaft's main bearing original size for reliability. Should i get another crankshaft or can i go ahead and use the 2nd oversize bearings?

I would think you would be ok using designated oversize.
