i'm thinkin about puttin a turbo on my 5sfe...but it has 158k miles...
compression is rather high on all 4 cylinders...b/t 190-205 on them all doesn't burn oil (spark plugs are clean as a whistle...) just a bad rear crank seal causing a leak should i go for it? any things i really need to consider? |
