Import JDM H22A for like $1500

Yeh, I would also advise get new motor and major service before you put her in. Can be done well under that 4k mark.
If you go to someone who knows what they are doing preped with all you need 1k in labour.
Id prefer to go that way but i am having a hard time finding anything decent. I've called several places. Eg. BYP offering a used h22a long block with 170xxxkm for $1100.
Do you know of any good sources for low km jdm h22a engines?
best to say is that when u buy an engine from a shop, search their reputation first.
type in the name of the shop that sell the engine in the search on ozhonda and see what happen
something interesting will come up.
u have been warned
Did a compression and leak down test at JDMYARD today. Compression results were 240 235 230 240. and Leak down test showed all cylinders stable with no major issues. So from this we gathered it was most likely the valve stem seals. So at the moment i am getting quoted on valve stem seal replacements which will pretty much be a major service with timing belt, water pump replacement etc. OR drop in a used motor. What are your opinion guys?
Service the head with new VRS Kit. Timing Belt + Water Pump and I'd say your good to go.
