None. I trust the company that I buy from. Especiallynow that they are going to warranty it for me. I am however going to put a mechanical oil pressure gauge on it for when I start it this time to make sure it has the proper oil pressure so there is no guessing!

Good luck, I should be starting a swap in a couple months!

How much does an engine cost?
And how much would you charge to install in my IS300?
Or if i get a supra how much would you charge to put in a GTE?

a GTE motor generally runs about 2-3k. the labor could be about the same 2-3k. thats just a stock motor. no upgrades.

in a Supra you will probably save a little on the labor because its plug and play ecu

Yes labor would start at $2k and go up from there depending on what all you wanted to do, and as far as in a supra, yes it would be less. Remember the supra wouldn't be vvti so the motor set would be more like 1800-2200 depending.

new motor looks better than the last. the letters on the coil cover are still chrome and noone has tried to repaint it either! head is bright aluninum and no grease stains what so ever, of course that didnt prevent me from cleaning and pressure washing anyway, lol. i will post pics later of the things i will be re-doing, brake lines, ect; and reinstalling to be running by this friday. Both my cars have been selected to be posted up with a few others in front of our RAVE Cinema for the opening of FAST FIVE, i know that may seem a little lame, but since this IS didnt make it to Import Alliance last weekend, this is a small WIN for me.

will post pics soon, not alot been goin on. had a few things fabbed up, been learning from the first install and moved some things around and seeing as i no longer have any kind of deadline I have been taking my time and doing things a different way. Had the rear turbo pipe milled as suggested, also the pipe with the valve in it cut out (again) and have been rewiring my WB02. Also studying the pros/cons of removing the wastegates or which ones to remove/wire open.

New motor is back in and was still a PiTA! New ps lines ran, new gauge wires well hidden, almost running again. Startup should come later today ( with video) and then I will be having new IC piping made for that "perfect fit!" If I have enough interest and people like what they see I have the ability to have these produced and can offer at a decent price!

Well she's alive (again) and very healthy, 80psi oil pressure at startup and high idle, 90+ for rev up, and 30+ @800 rpm @ idle. Thank god! 14lbs and only a CEL for the final 2 o2's that i haven't sim'd yet, looking up diagrams now for that fix. pics will be up later today. I want to finish painting all my trim pieces today and try to fit the bumper and greddy lip today.
