How was any of his problems " bad buiness practices".

IT IS A USED FUCKING ENGINE.

It was in a Car in Japan. That car was scrapped - because you know, it was wrecked, or maybe even the motor went bad.

Someone in Japan then hacked it out the quickest way possible, and crammed it into a container.

It then was shipped across the ocean, unloaded and transported a dozen times.






OMFG Shit gets banged up and wet!

HAHA...dont forge the fact that most engines coming in now are engines that the drifters in Japan didnt want. The same guys who would continue to beat on an SR with 3 cylinders because #3 cylinder is blown and almost got no compression (I swear I've never done this myself).

I stand corrected. They do have a disclaimer on their website, stating what parts aren't covered under their warranty. Which ironically, is pretty much everything the OP mentioned.
