    not necessarily....i bout my motor now in my civic that a few people on the boards can vouch for with perfect compression...would have cost me around 300 to rebuild my other d series and i got this one for $120 from a friend and it had 60k on it...now i mean i wouldnt replace a 150k motor with another but it does make sense MOST of the time...its pointless to rebuild a D for stock, especially for those who cant do a rebuild or afford the downtime you come off just as cheap getting another engine
    FUCK B&D COMMUNICATIONS!

    true you got a great deal cosidering the mileage and condition but not everyone has homies to hook them up or good connections at that
    know get me a single cam z6 lol. .

    jp.. awaiting my old b16 from my 4 door to put inot my eg'

    ok bakc to the topic

    if you get a good deal liek steveo then why not go for it .
    But if your gonna buy it from a shop and mileage condition is unsure, your best bet is to rebuild
