japanese import motors.... every motor i have gotten from these guys have been A+ (a couple honda motors and the eg33 that was stolen with my last svx!! that one was badass and low miles! it even had good stock mounts hooked to it)

if you are gonna be getting a lift and pulling a motor and all that and spending that kinda money, u might as well get a new motor same price imo.

my current motor has the same problem..... every 500 miles or so the car begins to overheat and i have to put water in (thats if i forget to add it when its cold) the water smells like oil ..... so when it finally gets past the point of running effectively im gonna proly just get the import motor.

mines got 160 on the ticker so its gonna need one eventually anyway..

the motor still runs ok, i just keep water in my trunk i drive 3000+ miles a month so id rather just get a new powerplant than try to spruce up the broke horse thats in there now
Yo, this is the worst idea I have EVER heard aside from "put some blue devil in it and its good to go". A new used motor is going to have the SAME problem in short time if it does not already
