They do this because they stock high compression and low compression pistons.

Yes... but is it worth it sticking another used and abused lump in only to possibly get let down again...
R12000 is a big amount of money to gamble with...
I've heard of so many smoking and knocking jap motors... mmmmm

That is a choice you must make and a chance you need to take, that's why many of the guys in this club and forum started lurning to build their own engines.
If you have the money rebuild it and make sure it's done right....
