The real question, Bob, is ... are you responding to
yourself? {:>)
Good points - rust can really make a mess of the iron
housings. The O ring groove does not have much wall thickness between it
and the coolant galley voids in some areas of the casting - just a
small amount of rust can further weaken that area until the metal
fails.

Bob,
I bought from JDM and am satisfied with what I got! But be careful
when buying a used engine. A lot of time coolant or water will make it into
the engine and rust the side housings. I recommend tearing the engine down as
soon as you get it! This way you will not have any problems or if the
engine is already rusted you can get your money back.
Bob (Am I talking to myself?)
JDM is the
importer I purchased my first one from and it was and excellent engine. the
other two were individuals
selling abandoned
projects. One complete and one without rotors. Ebay is
always a risk, but so far so good with me

Bob, any
sellers in particular that a guy should be looking at? I've started to look
seriously at my next project and am bouncing back and forth between buying
aRenisis and
p-porting it or a 20b.
