Well purchased and the engine two weeks ago. Due to being busy with other things the engine didn't get dropped into the car about and a week and a bit later after the 10 day warrenty expired (bs if you as me) Anyhoo the engine got unwrapped and checked out noticed a couple things at first the pulleys were bent and destroyed making it next to impossible for a belt to run on them. Next I discovered that the oil pan was dented in BAD like really bad. Looked like it was picked up and dropped there is no way i can use it. But that didn't bother me at all. Next I tried to do an compression test and it failed... Badly as well there was no compression in any of the cylinders so the head is a complete write off as well so far I'm not impressed they say the do a full inspection and compression test to meet customers needs (well that's a load) I took the engine apart today and discovered that the car has over 200 thousand K on it at LEAST. Can tell it was a rebuilt and Tiger states that all there engines are around 20-30 miles there was no way that was the case. Next i took the head apart and saw the valves were busted. This happens when the timing belt slips and tiger knew this before they sold me the engine. I took pictures of the damage and everything and they said my warrenty doesn't cover pulleys or damaged oil pan and they rejected a new head. So i've wasted 1500 bucks for an engine that is in worse condition then the one i blew. So if anyone is looking at buying from them DON'T... They are just out there to steal your money just like a lot of other companies but please learn from my mistake and don't buy from such a corrupt company.
