Message	Bought a JDM from Foreign Engines Inc out of Lynwood WA. Followed all of their proceedures. New water pump, seals, etc. Drove the car for 50 miles, temp gauge ran in the middle, oil pressure was 45 to 60 lbs. 1/2 mile from the house, the engine temp shot up to H, the car shut down and I pushed the best off the road. Now the company is refusing to help out saying that it was a case of overheating. Sorry can we help you find a new engine. Should it make a difference that the engine was for a stick and not a auto? Thanks Al
