JDM engines/trannies cleanliness

[h22sparkle]

yea totally screwed me on a lexus v6 because the rear valve cover seal started to leak...after spending 22 hours replacing the motor in a single car garage, you think i want to spend another hour to do the valve cover?

Lol

The shit was an sir-spec unless the person who I sold the car to did some extra stuff to it or never took care of the motor.

The SiR with the H22A was just a regular H22A. That valve cover was rattlecanned. It wasn't even crinkle painted!
Also, I called them looking for a transmission, and the dude told me that if I want a transmission, I have to buy the engine too. Shady bastards.

The seller that is very close to me in Kearny NJ has transmissions available for pickup. I want to go out there to check them out.

Price is very good and the pictures show a spotless transmission

Pressure washer plus good seals is how I keep my cars engine mint.
