ok thanks i will check it out

hmotors is the only place i would ever go. Prices are higher than many others, but they are by far the most reputable, reliable, and honorable engine reseller around. I got my H22A from them in 2003. Still going strong.

Speaking of JDM H22's when do you think that Japan will run out of them? Seems like they got a million of them and it amazes me they haven't run out completely already seeing that ppl have been swapping them since the mid 90's.

Many of the less reputable sites likely sell them from other countries, such as Australia (higher mileage.) Sure, they'll run out eventually... but they'll be available to those that look. If you can still buy original engines from cars made in the 20s and 30s, you'll be able to find good Honda engines for the rest of our lives.

Just do a full inspection when you get it. Compression, bearings, etc..

Gasket kits, belts, seals, tune-up, VTEC solenoid gaskets, water pump/timing and stuff. I think most people do this anyway for piece of mind. I would.

This.

The F22A9 I got from tigerjapanese for instance. From Australia.

Most of that stuff would be required for the warranty to be honored anyway. A professional installation is usually required as well, though I believe I've heard tales of Steve (HMO) honoring it after an amateur install, since the problem wasn't something likely to have been caused by the installer. Still smart to have a pro do it if you want to be safe.

Of course, I had pros install mine, and I'm still fixing their halfassed installation.

I believe Steve states that you must replace certain seals in order to keep is warranty valid. But I would not go to anyone else but hmo. I've seen 3 motors come from him and all 3 still going strong.

Ok thanks read all your input sounds like god advice. They are a little higher in price but you get what you pay for.
