As far as i know. Never Had a problem with them. I got my H22 for my Accord from there. My buddy ordered his JDM clip from there. They have a good rep. All motors garanteed to run.

I got my B20 from HMO. When I got it, it looked like it rolled off the assembly line and had never run before. Took the head off and couldn't believe how clean it was. Almost NO carbon. he pistons still had a bit of a shimmer to them.

After getting my motor from them, I'll never do business with anyone else. I'd rather pay the extra $100 to know I'm getting something worth my time and money.

Well worth the extra $100-$500 for the reliability, fast shipping, killer customer service, random rare ish, random performance ish, the list goes on.

Buddy of mine got a Dc sports header with his h22.
I recall seeing several threads over time of people getting aftermarket cool Ish on their motors.

What about my girlfriend just bought a '00 civic coupe with an hmo b16a in it for $2300! Needed a bumper, trunk, headlight, fender, dizzy, exhaust manifold, exhaust, cat, intake, cluster, and some TLC to the rear quater panel.

Too bad I had another bumper, trunk, headlight, intake, exhaust and cat from my '99 civic coupe laying around!!!

Don't you love those deals?

And to keep it on track, The HMO b16a is MINTY FRESH!!!!!
