Unhappy motor swap time!!

I let my so-called friend take my car to a shop so he could align it for me since i just lowered it, and he brings it back with a blown ****** motor! What an *******! He tells me he never took it over 2500rpm but all my gauges are out so how does he know? In addition, two of my buddies said they saw him gunnin it up and down the road. I don't know what to do with this guy. What do you guys think?

It's a 10th AE. I have a JSPEC motor sittin at my house with 30,000 km on it, so all i have to do is buy gaskets for swapping all the externals onto it. I think i am going to clean it up and paint everything red and black and have some stuff chrome dipped.

Here are my mods:

JSPEC Motor
Intake
Fuel Cut Defenser
Turbo XS BOV
Cleaned and Bored Injectors
Apex'I S-AFC
Racing Beat Springs
Front and Rear Strut Bars
GTUs Wheels
Reverse Indigo Gauges
Racing Beat Cat-Back Exhaust
HKS Downpipe
Hollowed Cat
Racing Beat Plugs and Wires

Does anyone know where is a good place to get gaskets for all the externals? I have searched the web, and called mazda but they need part numbers for everything. I need gaskets for the turbo to exhaust manifold, exhaust manifold to block, all the intake manifold gaskets etc...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Never let your buddies take your car unless it's a daihatsu. Tough break dude, hope your swap goes well.
