All 7M's are at least 12-13 years old, so your chances of finding a "low km" one anywhere are pretty slim. You might get lucky but then again you might not; it's always a gamble with import engines, especially problematic ones like the 7M. It's hard to spot a BHG or shagged bearings when the engine is sitting on a pallet in a warehouse...

Thats exactly right norbie. Most engines that are imported have been sitting around for ages. With no water in them and exposed to weather (7ms arent a high priority engine in japan) Alloy parts like the head get highly corroded. After pulling down my engine and seeing the big ends, please make yourself rebuild it, or you will learn the hard way.
