I am going ot order my ZE from JDM source tommorow, I got a buddy who has ordered a sr20 and a h22 (we just swapped in, both good motor's), wondering if anyone else had some experinces with them before I spent 1400$.

I got mine from them, not to happy with it. it burns quite a bit of oil, I should probably compression test it but I'm scared to. And the motor has a lot more miles then they say thats for sure.

Mine is burning a lot of oil too. It's more noticable with synthetic. I rebuilt the engine but didn't do the piston rings because I was having trouble locating some for a half reasonable price. I still haven't gotten around to doing a compression test because my tester doesn't reach deep enough for these engines. By looking at the internals when I did the rebuild, I would estimate that this engine had around 100K+ kms on it. Fortunately the cylinder walls still had the factory etching marks in them.

I spoke to shoalib and team_mazdamx and they said that they had one for me and not to worry, that they would hold it for me and it was mine. This was a month ago. I was ready to pay but shaoib said that the engine wasnt ready and had to be cleaned and checked out. Team_mazdamx always replyed to my emails but shoaib never called me to tell me what is going on? I know that there is a waiting list for klze's and that jdm is busy with back orders which is why I have been patient. I really dont know what to think? If they didnt have an engine for me they should have been real about it and just told me so rather than make me wait that way I could find one somewhere else. A month has passed and no word so I guess they never had one or sold it to someone else. Dont know why I am telling everyone this? Just pissed off and frustrated.

I waited for mine since may until about 2 weeks ago, I got the engine. It's in and running now, so I'm satisfied.

I went and checked my ze out and it was pretty dirty, and they said they had to pull the auto off and clean it up, when I went to pick it up it looked exactly the same. And shoaib was like "DAYM, It looks like a brand new engine!" I was like ok there buddy.

They also told me it compression checked 180 across dry. I checked it last week and got ~165.....
