don't know about that - we never purchased one from Tiger, but we have purchased around 40 of them from a supplier in Calif and very few had broken parts - the ones that did were broken during shipping from the supplier to us, which the supplier readily replaced - if you are picking it up, you should be o.k. - if it has something broken on it, have them replace it before you get itI hear 9 times outta 10, these JDM engines have broken pieces on them like throttle position sensors or leaky water pumps etc.
