At this point in time "I" would not go JDM do to the "Time frame" ... The more time goes by the less and the bottom of the barrel of a JDM you will get .. And the v6 motors start to smoke as miles and time get on them so used and JDM are a crap shoot on having to mess with the heads on the "new" used motor any how

Did you do a compression test on the motor before you pulled the heads ..?... I allways do .. It can be low on the cylinders that have cracks or blown head gasket ... But it really helps to see where your at ... Sorry on the DOA on the Monty ...

The V6 heads dont really crack like the 2.6 most of the time .. Did you get her real hot ..Have the heads "greyed"...?

Hope your days get better
