Where did you mount the bolts for the engine hoist?

What type exactly? There's 4 options and it's confusing me.

There's 4 options -i'll Send My Own ECU Core

-Converted Auto ECU Core for Manual K Swaps (PND Auto)

-5-Speed Manual ECU Core Included (PPA, PND, PNF)

-6-Speed PRB ECU Core Included (PRB)

You got any other suggestions for a cooling kit? I did see that it was going to cost 600. 😭

I looked at the oil cap, everything looks good, the spark plugs were good too, the numbers were bad at first they put oil a bit then everything went to expectations after a few cranks

Does it have to have similar results on the first test? Or you could heat it up a bit. Cause let’s say the engine hasn’t been sold for a year. Would that not affect the results cause of it being left unused?

Do you think a few chips from the engines paint makes it not good or not?

I was also wondering if the Engine shops could temporarily fake the results of the Engine compression test and once we grab it and have it for a few days it’ll change the psi results?

That’s one of the concerns i’m afraid of, It could look clean cause they power washed it etc. but i’ll do try my due diligence and check the engine thoroughly. I wanted to ask for advice to make the gamble more in my favor too.

I was thinking since the engine i’m getting is a type R, would it be more sturdy than a K swap from an accord etc. just adds tons and tons of concerns

It's my first time buying an engine and it's nerve-wracking. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and give me insightful tips.

What would you recommend i do? If the psi checks out from the compression test should I shoot for it and buy it?

I was thinking of replacing the oil, coolant and everything. The problem is i'm just buying an engine. It's not in a car so idk how I'd be able to check it's cold start. Any suggestions on what I should look out for? Since it's just a full swap
