The only 2 distributors you will be ordering from are
japan2la: forum member..reliable.... good compression "jspecs"
atkinsrotary.com: great business. Started importing japanese engines a while ago. In your back yard (Puyallup WA).
You want a series 4 engine.
Do lots of research.
search button works really well on this site.
ALL other companies will take your money.

Got mine from japan2la, had 120+ on both rotors when I got it and was a very clean engine. Dropped it in and it fired over the first time. Would be running right now, but I've been having a few electrical gremlins that I've been trying to fix.
Don't buy from tiger japanese, I've talked to quite a few people that have gotten bricks for engines from them, not even close to rebuildable (rusted, blown seals, etc).
