Message I had a JDM rebuild sold by ATK. Original car owner put it at ~93K miles (long story about what happened to the original engine), second owner sold car to me at 103K (new wife made him).

I had to replace the engine at ~125K - couldn't stop all of the oil leaks. When it was tore down, all kinds of bad things were found (too many to list here). It was a POS.

I have all of the service records from the day the engine was put in - we all took care of it, it wasn't raced. Hell, because the Nissan clowns who put the JDM in bent a wastegate, it only ran on one turbo. Once that was fixed, it REALLY started leaking oil.

So, go ahead and roll the dice - me I'd rather have a rebuild from Z1 or SGP.
