Message	Make sure there's something actually wrong with your motor before you spend thousands on swapping it. These engines are notorious for failing injectors and other minor failures that can lead to poor engine performance. When there is a serious mechanical failure, they tend not to be very forgiving. Also in most cases a usdm motor will be in better condition than a jdm motor, so if you can avoid it and you must buy another motor it's generally a better idea to source a usdm one. Cheers, JBrobst
