I made that mistake. i bought a 97 gsr with 125,xxx miles on it full swap. From a buddy not h motors. I just swapped it in my car without replacing anything. 3 months later. the Pressure plate went bad and the timing belt streched so much that it caused me to bent a valve in the head because the cam gears where 180 degrees off. So i learned my lessing i would replace it while its out of the car.
