Message	The people selling the J-spec engines claim 30 k or less, and started that vicious rumor, but I have seen and bought a lot of them and never came across one that looked under 60k, most looked like around 150 k in poor condition. They just about all have a sticker on them showing the timing belt was already done. From my experience they are 100% junk all the way around. The last two I bought were just core motors. Engine bearings squeaking, almost no compression, seized turbos, and beat to hell in shipping.
