Hi all, 

 

 I'm looking at purchasing an '06 OBW that had a JDM 2.5 ej253 installed a couple months ago. The seller sent me a video of it idling.: 

There's a weird slightly rhythmic clicking/clacking noise that repeats every 1.5 - 2 seconds. It doesn't seem tied to the RPMs of the engine though. Any thoughts? I have to drive 4 hours to see/pick the car up. Hoping to feel more secure before making the 8-hour round trip.

I'd just stay away.  Plenty others out there.

It is sold. There are not very many down here in the desert. If so, folks want a lot for them, and they are beat to crap. 

maybe try shopping farther away if possible?
