in the future im going to be purchasing a used motor, jdm B18C, i was just wondering if before i decide to drop it in what i should do to it, like replacing oil pump, gaskets, etc. im not sure what all i should do, or how much any of the parts would cost. any advice or comments would help out a lot thanks.
