They aren't going to be there to help you rebuild the JDM.

You can't run jdm engines without a complete rebuild before installation.
If you do it's a crap shoot.

Inevitabley you will be sorry for not going USDM.

Hmm, who told you that? Unless you know from it personialy happening to you, They have low milage i have never heard of anyone having to rebuild a jdm motor, my manager fixes imports and he replaces the engines with jdm and has never had to rebuild one, you better do some research before knocking jdms... im sry if you got ripped off on your jdm motor.

not necessarily a rebuild is needed but more like maintainence like replacing gaskets and seals here and there making sure theres no leaks, they do sit for a long time, and new fluids. it would be easier to rebuild a 7m with new headgaskets while its out of the car whether it jdm or usdm right?
