Question:
How hard is it to have maintenance done on an JDM engine (3sgte for example...) It would be shop kept, so they'd be the ones dealing with it. (please no one come back and say i should do the maintenance...that is out of question...) So anyway, the main question i'm getting at is are the guys going to open the hood and go "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have no clue how to service this in anyway...??"....or are they going to be able to service it like normal (or as close to normal as possible)? Thanks for your time and advice! ~snap -------------------- Past: V6 Swapped 6G Celica, E46 BMW M3, Jeep Wrangler TJ

Honestly I would hope that if you're going to go to the trouble of swapping an engine that you would learn about how to do basic maintenance. I mean seriously, for the money you would spend to have a company swap the engine in you could buy an MR2 or All-trac and have money left over lol.
Why is it out of the question to do your own maintenanc? -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
