For the eco-minded this engine is a great candidate for Bio-Diesel.
Japan requires that vehicles be taken off the road after 50K miles. This is to enhance their economy and environment. These vehicles are parted out as they are still in very good condition. Export International purchases containers of these engines. They are low in mileage, typically between 38K and 48K.
This is the infamous "exportintl". He seems to know his way around a rattle can

This is the rarely seen Bosch CAV/DPA injection pump. It has no internal lift pump so ... it has a conventional diaphragm pump (just like a gasoline engine) running off an eccentric on the front timing gear cover.
Notice the high flow shape of the intake manifold.

after 9 years the vehicle is subject to shacken every year.at around $600-1200 + repairs.a good 9 year vehicle with a roadworthy would cost a similar amount.its not worth fixing vehicles due to the repair costs.and disposal of vehicle for scrap is also at your cost..some vehicles have very low milage but have spent there life idling.and rust is common.the exported engines scam was created by countries like australia new zealand with africa,middle east and russia taking the bulk.mostly sold at scrap value and at times some products are hard to get as certin metals are in short supply..most of the exporters deal in bulk/volume so dud engines are common.they often buy core engines and resell as low milage.better exporters ship products to a third country for sorting.philipines was common destination.i visited a nissan dealer in northern japan,the mechanic was changing a SR20E in a primera,the new engine was a long type and required only electrical parts.through the translater the mechanic explained that the original was brocken and at $2500 for a new engine it wasn't worth fixing.he was planning to take several days replacing the engine..in the yard of the dealer was 2 new nissan sunny cars full of waranty parts.the cars had 2 dented doors each and had been written off as scrap.
the gear box is an van/light truck 4 speed box.the engine looks very industrial.so might be very old cabstar.

This is, of course, complete bullshit. One more reason to not buy from AJ.
Another is the system that puts these engines out to recyclers as early as they are. Because the owner of a car in Japan knows that he's not going to own it in five years, the vehicles get no maintenance. No oil change.
I've put a couple of them in for customers, and it's a crap shoot.
