i'm running to the edge here. my 93 ES has a BHG.. and i let my friend drove it. he forget to do daily check up on the coolen so it overheated and the Radiator is crack now.. anyways.

Cool

You can't mask a BHG & parting them out is stupid. It takes loads of work to do & doesn't return anything. Fix the BHG (Check for warpage) & replace the radiator / water pump timing belt etc.
Then sell it in the paper if you're tired of it.

I have a similar problem too. Except that my radiator is fine. I also have a BHG! And I'm also looking for a new motor.

great.. when you find one.. let me know how it go's.. =)


i read from this forum. that the JMD engines aren't so good. in Japan they have regular inspections like here in the U.S... where they shake the engine or something like that. but i'm not so sure..
