I guess its good to be precautious but I have always heard nothing but good news from hmotorsonline. In fact, I hear nothing but how good they are and how they never give their purchaser any problems.

its not really that hmotors is bad (cuz they're not) but basically, its better to check over things like the clutch and such before you put the engine in. its so much easier to change out that stuff while the engine is out.

I made that mistake. i bought a 97 gsr with 125,xxx miles on it full swap. From a buddy not h motors. I just swapped it in my car without replacing anything. 3 months later. the Pressure plate went bad and the timing belt streched so much that it caused me to bent a valve in the head because the cam gears where 180 degrees off. So i learned my lessing i would replace it while its out of the car.

If you're spending a couple grand on a new engine, I think $150 on new timing belt is a good idea considering that you have no idea how long the engine's been sitting in a junkyard.
