Some of both...I think I made the mistake of going to a non ASE certified mechanic, just because he was about $700 less than Goodyear. While I certainly dont recommend him to anyone else, I did save that money in the end...he just took his sweet time with the thing.
Anyway, I was the one who noticed the missing impeller. Had I not seen it, I think he would have reassembled the motor with the bad wp, then I would have been back at square one!
Oh well, like a good friend of mine said tonight, figure out the oil burn situation, check compression, then get nitrous!! 
I had a real hard time "restricting" myself with the "while I am in there" mindset (IE, esslinger perf cyl head, alum flywheel, etc, etc...), but I kept it under control, so I rewarded myself with "some" less expensive goodies: OptiTB, SPEC Stage 2 clutch, SVT/poly mounts, gutting catalytic converter, porting exh manifold, etc, etc.)
Sorry for rambling...I hope this answered your question! If not, PM me if you like...

Also, it is blowing a moderate amount of white smoke at startup, is this normal after a complete engine overhaul?
Any thoughts...? I am pretty sure it is bluish smoke, but why would I be buring oil immediately after a rebuild?
Thanks guys...
Anyone?
Also, what OIL PSI do other zetecs run at? I am anywhere from 30 (Idle) to 80PSI (Obviously only at higher RPMS)!! Is this normal??

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.
