Well as it turns out, it was time for a oil change, decided to check the oil on the stick and see how it was looking after 5k. Well, there was no oil on the damn stick! Turns out I could get the "valve seals" re-done for around 2500, along with the head gasket for 180. To me that is basically purchasing a new damn engine...
I have no issue with the power of the 7a-fe, not looking to race, just get light to light quicker and look good while doing it, but if i'm going to pay the same for a engine swap why not just swap it, is the way I look at it. Whatcha guys think? Engine runs fine, i'll just have to put a quart in every now and then, no where near a major leak. |

id go for a engine swap. prefferebly a 4age blacktop with 165hp and 120 lbs of torque. Engine with ecu and complete swap will cost you $1500. the motor is a direct swap into your celica. Its just a matter of you doing it yourself or taking somewhere to do it for u? Which could be another $1,000-$1,500.
