ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

      I've heard a number of bad things, but not as many as from others. At least they're based in the US, so if you have a problem there are some options available to you. The Canadian engine resellers can screw US customers over without a worry... as international lawsuits are far too expensive.

      Personally, though. www.hmotorsonline.com (HMO) is the only place I would go to. I got my H22A there a decade ago, and it's still in fantastic shape despite all the abuse I've put it through!

          How do you know they're a corporation?

          Google seems to be working again. It must've been broken a few minutes ago.

              Picking up in person is ALWAYS the best option... especially if you actually know what you're looking for when picking a used engine. Companies are less likely to screw someone that can actually show up on their doorstep!

                I'd go with HMotorsOnline.

                    be careful of wire transfers, they are like paying cash and if something goes wrong with the product you might not have any recourse to correct it. at least with a credit card you have some buyer protection
