Don't you mean the LZ4?

LX9 been produced from 2004 to 2007 so if yours is coming out of a 2008 it should be a LZ4 with VVT

What i don't understand is why go true all the cost of buying the engine doing the swap & re-use the same heads? (that you're gona fix anyways?)
I mean would easier & probably cheaper to just fix/change the valve seals

Last thing did you see the engine running before you bought it?
Or least see the car that was coming from the see if the mileage is the real deal?

There is no way i would buy a engine from the scarp yard if i didn't see it running first , no way! in hell i would , even with a 3 months on used engine , imagine put the engine in & find out that you got to take out to get exchange for another one , what a waste of time
Just saying...
