I'd have to disagree with that statement.. I wish that was the case.. But around here the "Crate" term is used to describe any engine that is delivered in a box. It can be used from Japan or a Remanufactured Engine or even a Spanking new OEM engine.

Including the recent engine I just bought for my Mazda B2000 Extended cab pickup.. every one of these engines was advertised at less than 35000 miles from local japanese engine importer...

Acetalene/Oxygen or Torch welding is much more difficult.. heh.. you should see the amount of scrap I had left over from torch welding in metal shop LOL And I never did get g...

I know of a guy here in washington that will rebuild any alternator to stock spec for $50-$150. Sometimes its cheaper to buy a new one.. but I figured in this case if I grab one from a bone yard and have it built.. then I have my current one as a spare and after its replaced it can be rebuilt and I ...

I'll have to look into that and see how much a GS alternator would cost.. or maybe I can snag one out of a bone yard and have it rebuilt. Not sure it would really be neccessary though.. I dont run power hungry audio equipment.. my car is pretty much stock in that regard. I did notice recently that m...

I will not produce (nor will Mr T's Trophies) these license plate frames with the MX-3.com logo on them for private sale. If Jeff and Mr T's Trophies come to an agreement, the only place you will be able to get them will...

Did your friends replace the timing belt when it jumped time? If not that will need to be done or it will just jump again. Dont worry though it wont hurt anything in the engine, but you will need to replace that timing belt before you can properly time the engine. If they DID replace the timing belt...

Just a quick follow up.. the price of $17 USD shipped is in the US only.. I have no idea what it would cost to ship to canada or elsewhere in the world. But we use UPS here so it shouldnt be a problem to get it to you in any case. I can check on a case by case basis on how much the shipping cost wou...
