Default Osaka motors legit?

I'm reading on here, motors from 10-40k miles. B18B is 650 bucks, well worth the buy? Does this place really deal out GOOD, no problem, legit motors? If so, I think paying 650 for a newer B18B compared to mine with 135k on it would be well worth it. I could bring the turbo idea back into the picture. Has anyone bought from here, heard from people who have bought from here, and was it a hassle? Thank you all.

my friend just got his b16 from there. it was in ok shape, but the idiots cut a lot of the wires instead of just unplugging the harness. hmotors is better, some of osaka's engines are cheaper though

My friend got a j-spec B18C Type R engine from Hmotorsonline.com, it was pretty expensive, but EVERYTHING was included, even GS-R axles for installing it into a 98 Civic (J-spec axles have larger splined ends). It included the entire harness, nothing cut. I think maybe one sensor was slightly damaged but we just swapped the one from his D16Y7 over and it worked great.

Most times if you get the engine for cheap, you end up paying more just to get everything ready to go and suitable for installing in the car.

I remember when Osaka was considered the ****... If its cheap and good, it won't be for long, seems to be the nature of this industry. You gotta pay to play
