the gauge was messed up, so thats why we gonna get another one and do it again, but basically they were like at 140, but the gauge would start to drop and its not suppose to do that

isnt 140 a low compression numbers?

well when the engine been sitting, and you try to jump the start and get a comp reading number, it will read low, when its hot, they should go up, so for right now its good, but when it gets installed, those numbers should higher. the good thing is all the numbers are pretty much even, which is what im going off utill i get it in the car. if one was bad, it would be significantly lower than the others.
The motor seem like it was maintained, WP, and TB replaced, no valve cover gasket leaks, compressor looks new as well, trans oil was still red, so i just wait and see

Japanese engines import in Sterling VA, which was perfect for me, i could go look at the motor, and pick it up

Yeah, for some reason the auto trannys are worth nothing.. I thought $1k with r154 would be a really good deal!!

we its just supply and demand. the guy told me he sells more honda b18, b16, h22, so they cost more than a 1jz. see its my DD and i have to contend with traffic, so i wanted an auto. wont be as fun, or put down as much HP, but it will be ok for me, i only want 300whp
