Message	Just like they wont pay you for labor to R&R their piece of crap engine, they will not reimburse you for parts and labor to fix it up either. You just have to strip them back off and use them for the next engine they send you. Depending on the place, most are going to want their old engine back, too. JDM engines are hit or miss. If you decide to go used, best off finding one that you can hear run before you buy it and check compression, even if that means paying substantially more.
