JDM or Rebuilt? 

Today we’re going to discuss the main differences between JDM and rebuilt engines?

JDM Engine 

Japanese domestic market engine it means is that the engine was originally sold in Japan. This means that it is new to the North American Market. Furthermore it means that the engine does not have regular sales in Canada or United States. JDM engines are also often referred to as JDM swaps.

Popular examples of JDM engines include B16A or JDM B18C

Rebuilt Engine 

Rebuilt engines, frequently called overhauled engines, have been dismantled, inspected, cleaned, and their parts are replaced or repaired to update them to current manufacturing specifications. Rebuilding an engine, while labor intensive, costs less than replacing your entire vehicle or engine. 

Rebuilt engines are common in older American vehicles or refurbished muscle cars from the 1970’s. Many rebuilt engines are also often customized. Rebuilt engines tend to have more deficiencies as they are designed to prolong the life of the car and do not last very long themselves.
