General comments:
I live in Canada and just had the car imported from Japan and only put 1,800 KM's on the engine.The engine started making a rattling noise in the top.Next day it stops running while sitting at a stop light and no more compression.The tensioner bearing no longer exists sooo all the intake valves are bent.The entire bottom end is fine though.I pulled the engine and the head needs a rebuild and the stock turbo's are done as well.It was cheaper for me to buy a factory long block from Japan than it was to rebuild it with some upgraded parts.I have been waiting for almost two months for the engine so hopefully it arrives soon.
