Yep agreed, 1 or 2 and probably 1. Ive bought several motors in the past, but I always went for lower mile F22, no more than 60k miles for my trouble/expense to swap in is my general rule, however those usually only had comp numbers and no leak down so I wasn't as sure about what I was getting. Regardless, 140k miles is a few to start with. What are they asking for these motors out of curiosity?
Yeah I was hoping for something with lower miles. Especially considering the reason I bought my S2000 a little over a month ago was because of the low miles. It only has 67k miles on it, but miles don't matter when an engine is seized.
I have considered a JDM swap. Any input on going that route? Is there anything special that has to be done since the JDM S2000's are RHD?
Thanks again for all the input.

TAE motors on ebay is great to deal with. I bought an 04-05 low millage f22c from them a few years ago to swap into my brothers ap1 and the engine is still running great. I would definitely ditch the f20 in favor for the f22c. The extra power and tq is quite noticeable.

Its probably just me, but i dont understad why dont more people dont just rebuild what they have? Then you would have a brand new motor for around the same cost, maybe a tad more plus you would have upgraded internals.
You can have a block sleeved by local machine shop for ~$1000, pistons/rods 1-1.2k, then miscellaneous stuff like plishing crank, bearings, gaskets ect. 3k and you csn have a pretty nice motor

The F22 can be a direct swap for an F20? There's nothing else extra required? That is great to know if that is the case. Amateur when it comes to engines.
Not in any rush but would love to have her up and running by the fall to enjoy her here in west Tennessee.
Thanks again for all the info!

I have also considered buying a re-manufactured engine with 0 miles, and a warranty.

Is that Jordanksartell?

Per another thread, I believe mm3kwolik (Jordan) has moved to Texas. I reached out to the guys at DeftMotion in Nashville. I believe he used to be there, and they recommended a swap over a rebuild.

This is very true. I've known a couple people that had their Honda block rebuilt in the '90s from reputable, respected and well-known rebuilders.. only to blow, spin a bearing, seize or make bottom-end noises, etc. a couple months or a few years later. Not exactly Honda 300k-mile reliability anymore after a rebuild.
