The Japanese require that engines be removed from vehicles after a certain milege is achieved. They know that older used engines create more pollution than do newer engines so they require that their citizens NOT operate any vehicle that exceeds that predertermined limit.
If we are to be seen as serious about old engine pollutants, we would bar the importation of these used engines. While we are welding engines shut here we are still importing used Japanese engines.
It's a loophole that needs closure.
