Paul, et al,

I'm shopping and got a quote that said:

*Used Japanese Import coming to us direct from **Japan** (JDM). The average
mileage, on our Japanese Engines & Transmissions, is 25,000 to 50,000
miles.
This engine, although low mileage has compression issues. We are
selling it
as is for the price of $785.00, plus shipping*
**
Should this preclude me from buying this engine?  My thoughts are that
I'm going to rebuild it anyway and my thinking is that apex seals are
the culprit.  What else could be wrong with this picture.

Well it could be a late 3rd gen turbo engine with detonation and fractured apex
seals figure on new rotor housings and maybe one or two new rotors. Sounds like
a core. Perhaps worth as much as $500. $785 sounds high. Maybe if it was disassembled
so all the parts could be inspected.
