I get my engine bits from Stevo, so you might as well go direct....

Some of the guys in the US recommend -

http://www.allhead.com.au/

There's also -

http://smsdiesel.com.au/

Never dealt with either. Allhead will send overseas. No idea if SMS do.

Might be better to stick to local suppliers unless you can be sure of getting the right bits.

I ship stuff from Japan all the time for my Mazda rotaries and surf - give me a shout with what you want and I can find out details for you.
