I went with a no name importer for my 13BT about four or so years ago... Bad idea. One of the rotors was blown. Now that I have the knowledge that I do, I'll go through Japan2LA next time.

Um... I'll take 1 container of rotary engines please! Your going to stack them full inside the container?! Ok, just put blankets in-between the layers of rotary lasagna.

A 20ft container would net you about 40 engines and a 40ft would hold about 80 to 100 motors.. Considering the failure rate of 60% or more you will probally take a serious loss if 60% or more turn out to be no good... Huge risk.. or you could get lucky...

Now if you could buy a container of 99 spec and newer FD swaps from them then it would be a different story...

take the 60% that are blown.

disassemble them all

mix the good parts together

make good/decent budget rebuild engine

scrap the crap

= profit
