Greetings all,

I have been snooping around and find " JDM "  on several parts and
engines for sale on Ebay.  What does JDM stand for ?

Thanks
Kevin


Kevin,
JDM is short for "Japanese domestic market".  These engines and other
items are from autos that were built to be sold in Japan.   The
suppliers usually say that the inspection requirements in Japan are so
stringent that often the engine is changed with only 50k or 60k
miles as the cheapest way to meet the inspection criteria.   Does
anyone know if this statement is valid?  Also, I'd like to hear what
comments anyone may have regarding the Cosmo 13b REW engines as a
starting point for an aircraft conversion.
