the only reason i got a JDM motor is because i couldn't source a GTE from around here, and the ones that i did find all had problems that i knew about. so i figured i'd take the risk and get one. if i blow it up, i'll surely rebuild it over getting another JDM motor...

my experience so far has been very good... i got a 89 7m-gte motor... came w/ an auto tranny, full wiring harness + some other misc electronics, but it has about 19k miles on it (about 26k kilometers) i took it apart, re-built the head for security, and put on a new hg + arp head studs... only problem i came across was the block deck had 3 rust pits in it... we just epoxied it in and sanded it down for now, but this motor will never see much power, so it doesn't matter that much... it was $975 shipped btw
