Good luck in sorting this out and hopefully getting something out of it in the end.

Didn't really take detailed pics of the internals but the build thread is here: Nissan Owners Club - South Africa - Nismo :: View topic - Project STI

Re; Compensation - Autech / Dale refused to refund me any money, it's now a matter of legal proceedings in which I hope to get at least some money back for both myself and another one of his victims. I'm not focusing any concern on the machine shop as I believe Dale did not give them the correct requirements anyway and since I paid him to handle it all he is the one that should be bearing full responsibility - it should be up to him to seek compensation for his own losses from the machine shop he used for my engine.

A certain generous soul has offered me an excellent deal for a brand new 92mm Mazworx VE block which I have accepted, so the build will resume in the New Year!

Those pictures speak leagues. Someone who should not be touching an engine touched this one in a very bad way.
