      @@HowDidy-gb1kb it’s implied if it’s a clone, that it’s not a “real 20th” so the only reason to ask is to point it out. As in “I have one and you don’t” - ie elitism.

      @@ricardojuarez291 you can usually buy new control arms with new bushings already pressed in for fairly cheap. I did that a few year ago (these are them) but the rear bushings wore out due to other problems on the car that I’ve fixed so I didn’t want to buy all new control arms again. Had to figure out a way to get them in without a hydraulic press and it worked fine for me. I’d lookup your control arm and just get replacements though.

      @@GodBlessAmerica0629 first thing i would tell you is make sure it runs and drives without any obvious issues (knocks etc). I would also say given the age plan to tear it down and replace the guides/chains at the very least from the get go. The VR6 are very reliable for a long period of time without a ton of fuss but at the end of that interval catastrophic failure is inevitable. If you find a standalone engine where you can’t start it, go ahead and buy it, but tear it down and start fresh all the way… might as well get a spacer and turbo it at that point too…
