So I went to change my valve cover gasket and found my seals are all blown out with 165K on the whole car. Haven't noticed oil because I park in on grass 90% of time. So I don't know where to go from here.
It is a stock (mostly) 95 2.2 GT Vert Auto. What would be my best course of action, have it rebuilt? 3GSTE (or other engine) swap? Trash it and start over? Rebuild it for turbo? I've heard the 2.2 if rebuilt is better than the 3gste if you do it right. |

Couple things.
Don't have the know how to drop the trans and replace the seal. Would have to pay for that as well. It was a slow leak then got worse, so it wasn't ran low on oil. (At least not while I've had it). Sorry for not replying earlier.This thing is becoming more of a hassle than I signed up for lol. Just finding parts is impossible. |
