dont buy an engine, buy a clip
most of the clips youll find will be imported from japan into the US, then sold in the US. i wouldnt send money to anyone in another country. contact someone who already has the clip imported and is selling it in america. that way, if you have a problem , youll have better luck tracking them down.

I recommend buying from somewhere reputable even if you have to spend a few more dollars. It will be worth it in the long run. Two I would trust are jarcoinc and motors unlimited.
