I hate it for you OP, but a lot of that should have been noticed first thing. That's why you always inspect it before signing the papers for delivery. I guess I got lucky. my motorset was amazingly clean with no broken plugs, dented oil pan, or scratched valve cover. My first motorset, however, had a dead cylinder. Shit sucks. I'm also willing to bet that the water was due to the whole tsunami thing last year

Yeah, my friend's integra type R engine came in wet on the inside. He got a great deal for $1200, most of it is good, but then had to drop $2500 rebuilding, cleaning, and resleeving the car to spec.

As someone who has been to Tiger and seen motors stacked 4 high in Piles... I feel bad for anyone that has bought sight-unseen. Watched some pretty nasty motors get wrapped up when I was there. Buying in person is the only way to go. Like everyone said buy local. Pay a little more for the personal inspection and peace of mind.

Someone in Japan then hacked it out the quickest way possible, and crammed it into a container.

It then was shipped across the ocean, unloaded and transported a dozen times.






OMFG Shit gets banged up and wet!
I stand corrected. They do have a disclaimer on their website, stating what parts aren't covered under their warranty. Which ironically, is pretty much everything the OP mentioned.

because nissans have better chassis for drifting and in general chassis from imports are better made. however, for GM engines there is a big market for tuning, lots of power, cheap. but with your logic you would not understand any of this.

ordered my motor 2 months ago from JDMsource.ca in alberta. nothing but good things to say about them.
professional, answered all my questions, shipping was very quick.
all in all a good buy, you just have to be careful, as people stated, SR's are starting to push 20+ years old now.

i lucked out, i got a pretty much stock motor, lots of new stock parts, doesn't look too abused. really clean overall. no dents on the stock oil pan either!!



2 months of hard work and heres what she turned out to look like, looks brand new
