well 1 revvin 7you won i got the motor in started to remove the turbo and manifold when the turbo came loose a little water came out between the turbo and manifold and when i took it off the manifold was full of water. continued to take off the turbo manifold and the rotor housings where full of water also. Just my luck $1600 for a submerged motor LOL im in the process of sending it back now but leaves me out $240 in shipping costs.

SHOCKING!!

hahaha, Rob you *****. I have only seen one Jspec be in good condition, infact I have only taken apart one used engine that was in a good condition. I even adopted a new policy this week, no more installing used engines or jspecs

the thing is i was gonna buy a used motor and just run the car with it for installation purposes. I was going to put everything in get the car painted do all the fabbing of the IC pipes wireing for the microtech and what not then take it out and rebuild it any ways but to get a motor that is junk i have the chances of getting a unrebuildable motor damaged rotors and so forth so a running motor will be better in my opinion
