So I take it you guys have no plans to open these engines up and refresh them before you spend all that time putting it in? That's one thing I'll never understand about the import community. Just because japanese engines are insanely reliable doesn't mean that someone didn't run it out of oil. If I buy an unknown engine, it's getting opened up and freshened up at the very least, if not completely rebuilt, and if I am going to open up an engine, it's going to get good parts right from the start. Every point you made about the 1J, you can apply to any other engine, especially cheaper ones with more displacement.
