its true that there are cars that have more km's but 250k is rare still

alllright maybe i bumped it up a bit (recalling an importer who saw a type-r teg with 270 on the clock get auctioned off..and you know that motor got sold with the trusty 80,000 on it..)

but there's the idea here that we think as soon as the car hits a certain amount of km's in japan, the people dump it immideately...people keep their cars based on age, the older the car the more money it costs to keep (licence renewal, not maintenance)

People buy engines from shops without knowing the km's.. for 3000$+ so i dont see why this one should be treated any different if its in good shape

Agree 100%

At this point I don't have time to do the swap.

The pics are blurred cuz I think I got bad nerves and more importantly the camera is got some issues. Canon Powershot my ***..

Anyway, I did a compression test and got

(in PSI) PICS TO FOLLOW!

cyl 1 - 235
cyl 2 - 235
cyl 3 - 232
cyl 4 - 240

I only tested the chambers once around so, Im sure if I did them a few times each, they would average out pretty well.
