    I didnt post the pix to start an argument about opinions, i just did it to compare quality of motors for prices. NOW with that being said, you could have gone with a motor from nad, and not have had to bought new seals/or paid for install. So all in all you will probably be around the same price as an engine you could have gotten from nad. And The inside of the VC, Mike, From the outside you could expect much worse, that motor has probably got a good bit of miles. It definately is not as bad as there 2jz insides (you know what im talking about).

    Cliffs, im not trying to prove anyone wrong, just showing quality, and you do get what you pay for.

    When swapping in motors, I dont care where i buy it from I buy a head gasket kit and change the VC gasket, cam seals and all the rest, so a few seals needing to be replaced is nothing, and the outside appearance at this point means little to me, as long as the internals are good so am i

    so you are ok with Tiger Japenese lying to you about their 25K mile engine?

    You would rather replace seals on a 100k mile motor to "save money" when you could have bought a 30K mile motor from Nad or Hmotors?

    retarded

    i refuse to argue with you further, you are just a waste of time
