well found out yesterday the jspec i just put into my TII has a blown coolant seal. noticed it was overheating and it no longer had any coolant in the radiator interesting!!!! also smokes so bad you can barely see my car when i come to stop after i get my FD back from judge ito. i'm gonna have him pull the engine and rebuild and port it. was hoping to have this running 100% already but oh well. that's what i get for trying to be cheap and put in a used engine

What did you pay for it?

vosko

$650

phinsup

That isn't bad, great deal if it rund, but it''s fucked that it doesn't.

I'm not alone in the getting fucked over by Jspecs world



I'm sorry to hear that though man, my jspec has a busted coolant oring AND a bust apex seal...so I know how ya feel.



Say it with me now: "JSpecs suck and nobody should buy them!"

vosko

yup. i look at it this way my other engine needs more than $650 in hard parts to rebuild it

phinsup

Yea very true, at least you got the parts to work with now.

vosko

hopefully this engine isn't all jacked up inside

Hmmm...looks like I'm not buying one.

If your rebuilding the jspec and its just got a blown coolant seal..it'll be an easy rebuild. My NA blew its coolant seal...and when the motor was torn down, it had perfect APEX seal, housings and rotors...only had to replace about 4 seals/rings and it was good to go again...
