Has anyone bought an engine from a site like Osaka Motors? They are a junk yard company, and im afraid that their engines wont work properly or something. Where do you guys suggest I get an engine, because I dont want to get a bad deal, or get ripped off for a new engine. I really need one too, my 93 civic has 173,450 miles on it.

 

This has been covered a million times, next time search. Some people have gotten engines with broken parts. I think osaka has a start up policy, so if a part is broken or missing they will replace it.

There is a lot of other shops that sell great swaps for the same amount or less than osaka.

 

sorry bout that, i just wanted to make sure, i found some other company sites, but i need peoples opinions on them, thats why i started the thread.

 

also, try the shop that would put it in. i was going to order an engine myself, but then found out that the shop that would have put it in would just get the engine for me. saves a little on shipping and you know you'll get something good because it'll go right to the shop, from someone they trust already. of course, if you're doing it yourself, i guess that wouldn't work. (btw, i've heard bad things about osaka, but haven't dealt with them personally).

 

kaizix - where did you get yours done? did you order it online?

i found a site called Japan Direct, it sells motors too, has anyone heard of it?

 

well, i haven't done it yet. just done a lot of research. there's a few places around here in so cal that do it and they all order the engines themselves.
