So I got my stimulous check and decided it's time for a KLZE. Has anyone had a bad experience, or heard of someone who has, with the JDM motor sellers on EBAY? I know what I need, but worry about less than trustworthy sellers. The ebay feedback is mostly based on other common honda and nissan engines, so Id rather hear from you guys.
Thanks

Find a shop and check the engine over b4 you buy it. I would never buy an engine off ebay. I buy lot's o' stuff off ebay, but I have my limits.

Go to Google, type in JDM engines and search for suppliers in your area. Go there, check out the head codes and get a compression check. If they dont make your feel comfortable, F*ch em! Tiger Japaneese in Toronto tried to screw me. What pissed me off is that they're all Afganistanies. We're over there defending them and they're back here screwing us. Oh man now I'm pissed off. I gotta cut back on the coffee.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I bought a true KL31 engine from them. KL31 cams, straight neck manifold. By the way, buy a straight neck KLZE. Straight Necks come with KL31 cams. You just got to adjust the throttle body somehow so you can make it fit and not hit the brake resvior

Only problem with them is, they run out of them quick. I've been waiting 2 months for them to get the straight neck. They just have the curved neck in now.

For the difference in actual HP why not just buy the curved neck? If they have a few of them and they're not moving you may get a good deal. Can always look at getting the cams later if you really think it'll matter.
