But in response to your building dilemma....you want safety, and reliability...then you want forged internals, OR you want to just go back to being bone stock.
I dont know where you heard forged internals are a PITA. the rods are no different functioning then factory rods, they're just stronger. And as far as pistons, if you get 2618 they will have piston slap and burn some oil until they heat up but they handle alot more abuse then 4032...4032 act just as factory pistons and are stonger then factory pistons and are more then enough for most people.
You can get pistons with the same 12.5:1 compression ratio as well so your engine will feel no different then the way it is no, it will just handle the abuse of being boosted much better.
Hope you figure it out and good luck, sorry to hear about your miss fortune and hopefully it isn't to bad.

If the is a forged piston that acts like stock, then I'm all for that. I just don't want the piston slap and frequent rebuild issue that accompany traditonal forged internals. For one thing, I just *barely* get the oil up to temp by the time I get to work. Going with that kind of piston would mean I'd never get to drive it to work on a nice day.
Good to know about that alternative. I'll look into it. Thanks.

It's located on the passenger side of the car on the rear of the engine, which is where you said you saw most of the oil. I'd check on that first as you probably didn't blow anything yet - other than a seal.

I've heard about that leak too. But it didn't appear to come form there, and something in the engine is most definitely damaged.
