I used to think junkyard engines were always a gamble, but now I grab them every time
Five years ago I spent $1200 on a rebuilt motor for my old Civic, and it blew a head gasket in 6 months. Swapped in a $250 junkyard engine last year from a 98 Accord with 140k miles, did a compression test and changed the timing belt myself, and it's been solid for 15,000 miles. Anyone else find that low-mileage junkyard pulls hold up better than those cheap rebuilds from shady shops?
