i recently bought a used engine from rising sun engines. so far its working fine. although, when it was shipped, the he head was damaged, and i the dealership where i had it installed did all the normal replacement stuff. my car is completly stock, and it has around 106,000 miles, a little less actually.
i was just curious if any one has bought an engine from them. and if so, how is theirs doing? for some reason, i just have a nagging feeling that it is going to go bad some time in the not to distant future. i dont drive hard, just normal driving, and the occasional drag from a stop light with some punk in a civic. and every now and then from a porshe i see driving around town.
 
NO

but i did buy a used engine from M&S when my T-belt broke a few years back when i was stupid.

M&S claimed the motor i was buying had 45k miles on it. haha, more like 145K

i added 1 quart of oil per week at a minimum. after a few months of this and the motor losing all power. i decided to rebuild my first motor.

so when i tested and took the motor from M&S apart. leaking valve seals in 2 cylinders and #3 piston had near zero compression. gotta love it.

cant forget within 1 month of having this "45K motor" motor installed. the head gasket blew.

my car was completely stock except for an exhaust at this point in time.

so this is a warning to anyone considering them as a choice for a motor.
 
Is this the same Rising Sun Engines in Northern Arizona? If so, I have had great success with many JDM 4G63s that I have bought from them in the past.
