teppichkopf Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Anybody ever buy or know anything about these engines. They usually have 30-40k miles. I've seen some EJ20s for under a $1000. Haven't seen any EJ22 though. My neighbor just bought a engine for his Nissan. Said he's used a few over the years. Seems like a great deal on a low mileage engine.

WoodsWagon Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 One con is that the owners know they will have to ditch the engine after the milage limit, so they don't bother to change the oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrinc Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 You probably won't see any EJ22 engines. They were built almost exclusively for the US market. Emily http://www.ccrengines.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jseabolt Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 One con is that the owners know they will have to ditch the engine after the milage limit, so they don't bother to change the oil. A guy I know who used to service my Honda Prelude bought used engines from Japan. I thought he said they came from wrecked cars since there is no room for junkyards on the island. What's the deal with the mileage limit. You mean once the engine has so many miles on it, it must be replaced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
