Need Help with picking engine!!!!
Hey guy's I'm in Ny and I'm going to NJ tomorrow to try to pick a 13b TII JDM engine for my swap...I asked them if they compression tested the motors they said no...that they are tested in Japan...Yeah right tell me anything
...But they said I can check it myself when I get there....Yeah like I have a compression tester... How can I tell if the engine is still good and doesn't need a rebuild???? should I try to talk him down to about $1000.00 and then buy a rebuild kit and rebuild it before I install it??? If I put a motor in and it blowns soon after or is no good to begin with then thats the end of my project....and I'll just have to find another hobby, because I hate to do work twice!!!!

+1 on the rebuild. If you`ve done ANY research on this forum about "dropping in" a JDM motor, then you`d know that 95% of the time, people end up doing the work twice. REBUILD!!! AND PORT!!!

yeah, deffinatley rebuild it.
i got a jdm enigne. tore it down and rebuilt it.
jdm engines are great candidates for rebuilds, because they usually have really good housings.
