My friend got a zc from nippon and it was dirty as hell. So before we swapped it we thouroughly cleaned it. It was in good mechanical condition but it burned a bit of oil. However, after a couple of oil changes it stopped burning oil. His only problem was that the spark plug tube seals disintegrated and oil flowed over the plugs. A simple fix. My ZC had the same problem and it was sparkling clean. So it is really hit and miss when it comes ro imported jdm motors. I have heard good things about nippon and they are reliable. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

that's the damn truth. I dont think it really matters where you get it from...you're always taking a chance.
I'd personally go w/ soko for the more reasonable shipping charges...Nippon wanted to ream me on shipping...

Well my ZC that i just got was a little beat up. but nothing less than what i expected from a used engine. Personally i am very satified with what i got. And even if it has many miles on it, it doesnt matter cause im totally rebuilding it. I stuck tho, i cant get the crank pulley nut off..!?!?
