Tell your buddy thanks, but no thanks.

I have always used hmotorsonline.

This has nearly nothing to do with all motor tech.

JHP is reliable overall as an etailer. I never knew they sold engines though so do your due diligence and ask many questions to find about what you're ordering, and any return/insurance policies if you get it and something is wrong.

hmotorsonline is a flop... you never know what you will get

fck steve at hmo...and i dont give a crap what anyone has to say about how clean their b18 is they got from him...most people only have bought one swap. i bought several and the b16 i got had maybe 20k miles on it and looked new..a h22 swap i got from him was trash and had maybe 100k on it....next swap was just in general a rough lookin swap that had just been pressure washed and you can tell it was beat.

always INSPECT the swap when it arrives if not in the condition specified by the seller, send it back, i learned the hard way and hmo got alot of my money that i should have spend elsewhere.

There are ALOT of good jdm sellers on ebay, i have ordered 3 off ebay from highly reputable people and have always received top notch product. no complaints
