You are wasting your money if you buy an engine from them, go to the good/bad business feedback section to see some pics of their "good used" engines. Don't listen to their b.s. promises because as soon as they have your money that will be the end of their customer service. If you really want to get a good used jdm engine contact a rotary engine importer such as...japan2la, corksport, etc... they are getting harder to find in good shape though and are more expensive then tiger. But thats what you have to realize with Tiger you are getting a thousand dollar paperweight most likely, NOT A good running ENGINE!!!

I just got a transmission from them for $190 plus $225 shipped to my door.Didn't touch it, works just fine syncros are PERFECT in all 5 gears, no bearing noise. The vent tube was busted off, that was the only damage I noticed. Not an engine and seems to be a rare experience but I did get a good tranny. I wonder if it came off the back of one of those F'd up motors, no woneder it had no wear....

You got very lucky. Tiger is known to sell **** used parts and stick them on the customer with no support.

As the other poster said OP, don't waste your time with this garbage company...
