uh oh, that can't be good. so you just purchased the longblock? have you installed it in the vehicle already? compression tested it and the like? specify a bit more and we'll see if we can figure this out before too late.

nah havnt put it in my car yet. wasnt too much just a little bit of shavings in hole from bolt. Just bought the b20 longblock from password jdm. They told me all there motors are compression tested before sold and its guaranteed to start. Motor looks really fresh just wondering if anyones encountered this before. hope it aint nothing serious

IF you replace spark plugs, spark plug wires (leads), rotor, timing belt, water pump and tension pulley.
