sorry about that everyone. i bought a 92 with a blown motor. the timing chain broke and destroyed the cam. it is broken in half. and i am pretty sure the valves kicked the pistons ass!

so i am looking for a replacement for the 1.5L. sorry about the confusion.

I am very nervous about buying a JDM motor over the internet since i dont know how much life they have left in them. local guys are very weary about buying a motor for 600 bucks over the internet. anyone have experience with these things? how reliable would these things be? this is my first import car so i hope i can build a pretty reliable piece of transportation. these swaps seem pricey for what i want to do with it.

thanks everyone. i know this is such a newbie question. i am new to these imports, but not to message boards. i am coming from the dark side (www.ls1.com)

please dont hold it against me!
