Why bother with an imported engine with god-knows how many k's when you could go to a local Jap wreckers and probably pick one up for the same price, and genuine ks. They sold tens of thousands of these engines locally remember, in AE9x, AE102 and AE112 form so you shouldn't have any trouble tracking one down. Smoke/oil consumption is most likely valve-stem seals, 7As are known for burning a bit of oil as they get old. Edited November 4, 2009 by Hiro Protagonist Quote
