I just but a jdm engine from Eric Japan engines in chicago, IL last friday, I took the engine to the mechanic that was going to swap my old one for this one and he said that the engine is bad...the turbos are sized, camshaft lobes are worn out (can see scratches) and there is heavy sludge buildup in the valve cover and also the vtc valve ruber caps are melted. He says that it has been overheated. I have just spent $1,300.00 for it hopefully the place will replace the engine for me, has anyone dealt with them before (Eric Japan in Chicago) any imput greatly appreciated.
Thank you, James 93TT
