Guys, I recently bought a 13BRE motor from an "online" company for about $1500, claiming it came from a running vehicle. When we received the motor and opened it up, I almost went ballistic! The front plate, rotor, rotor housing, middle plate and e-shaft were all damaged from oil starvation! Now, I'm in a bind and was wondering if there were anyone in this forum that had a useable core for a resonable price? I would need it shipped to Oregon. I appreciate ALL the help fellas.



Thanks,

Jim Kelly

They said what anyother poor customer service company would say, "Sorry, we can't help you."

Give dave at fc3s.org a call. He is a great guy that will make sure you get a good engine. I ordered a 13B-RE from him and it came in with water in the rear combustion chamber from washing it I'm assuming. Not a HUGE problem if it was warm outside but I live in MN and that water was frozen. Frozen water= broken parts= very low compression. I let him know about it and he had another engine waiting for me at the loading dock by the end of that week!! Now thats customer service! I payed ~1500-1600 for mine 1.5 years ago.



Good luck
