Most of our engines are imported from Japan therefore it is customer’s responsibility to transfer all emission devices i.e Intake and exhaust manifold from their old engine as Japanese emission devices do not comply with EPA regulations. All other accessories like AC compressor, alternators, power-steering pumps etc must be transferred from your old engine as our engines are sold as long blocks.If our engine is shipped with such accessories it will not be covered by our warranty. Add-on accessories are specifically excluded from the warranty offered herein. We test and inspect all our Engines and Transmissions on the basis of our expertise and use our discretion to determine if they are in good working condition based  on the outcome of  our testing and inspection procedure. We do not guarantee that the item sold will be from Japan or from a specific location, we also do not guarantee the item to have a specific mileage but our endeavor will always be to stock engines and transmissions with lowest miles possible. Mileage we refer to in our advertisement is only approximate.
