Well, I have been problem free since I bought my car back in early 03. I guess I'm about due because of all the racing I do. I don't race a ton, but I do run my car hard a lot. I've noticed my car is now eating radiator fuild, and what's there is brown. And, I'm leaking more oil than I was, even after replacing the gasket at the camshaft, and the valve cover gasket. I really don't want to put another 5sfe in there. I was rather a 4age, 3sge, or 3sgte. Those are my choices, and in that order. What ever I find, and is most cost affective, I might put in. I might end up putting another 5sfe, or just replacing the head gasket. But I really don't want to do that. I have no time to mess with it, so I'm worried that I might stay with this POS 5sfe.
EDIT: Update in new post. This post has been edited by Bigmeanbulldog55: Mar 23, 2006 - 11:41 PM -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

Im just giving him suggestions
 He doesnt have to take it. I'm letting him know that there are other engines available which he might have overlooked. It could be harder to do, but not impossible. Like you mention the 3s is harder to put in a ST, but that didnt stop people from doin it
