You guys thinking that the mileage is low. That's flucking hysterical.
Because they off load all of these engines. Then they proceed to tear them apart and get rid of what is visually no good.

So maybe your block has 40k something on it. But you have no idea what you are getting.

It's just not smart to put one in without going through it first.
It's not the right way to do things at all. You are just creating the probability for failure.

When you already have the engine out. Why not take a week and rebuild it.
It's just not good sense.

It's like finding a dildo and telling your wife to go ahead and use it.
Only for her to find out that it needs new batteries.

my uncle lives in japan,
the reason why there's so many front clips and jdm engines being sold over here its bcuz its useless to them, and financially stupid

at 30k a car motor is considered a high mileage motor in japan
they pay an extra fine, and a higher insurance for driving a high mileage motor
over there,
so the only smart thing to do considering how cheap cars are over there,
is just to get a new one,

were recycling their engines,
and ordering one and dropping them right in, and running is not jus luck
its called a "reputable shop"
a shop that has a reputation of providing excellent parts and service,

ordering one from an uknown shop and dropping it in and running,
now thats lucky,
but if it f***s up on you, you dont have anybody to blame but urself
since your the one that ordered it on the first place

now in my case, i ddnt get mine from any shop, like i said, i got family that lives there, and i get my jdm stuff, from a private source


and for the dildo thing;
i think if you find a dildo somewhere and gave it to ur wife to use
it, not having batteries is the least of her worries
there are things called Vanerial Disease, you know.
