Default DONT BUY JDM ENGINES!!!!!!

they ripped a buddy off on mitsubishi forum on an engine an heres the story right off the thrad
Quote:
Never buy any type of engine from this company.
They claim too pressure test and inspect all the engines that come into their shop. I can guarantee that this is a lie.
I recently purchased an engine from them online. I will never do this again. The head to the engine was warped so there is no way it would have passed a compression test. Majority of the parts that are bolted on the engine were damaged beyond repair. The transmission even had a hole in the differentcial case. All in all it was a bad motor, but since I bought it as is I am stuck with this junk motor.
The only thing good about it is the short block. Everything else is crap.
Just wanted to make sure no one else goes through what I went through with this company.
he has no money for an attorney either so he is stuck with s*** heres the thread http://www.mitsubishiforum.com/m_162.../tm.htm#163170

One of my buddies builds at least five cars a year with JDM engines. Pretty tough to get a USDM RB26.
