new engine or engine rebuild just because of a oil leak???? Just find out where its leaking and fix it... I see cars with 50k miles on them leaking oil..Doesnt mean they need a new engine or rebuild at all. Gaskets and seals are cheap...find out whats leaking and fix it. Not too big of a problem..if its your rear main seal then its going to take some work...but its still like a 15$ seal.

[right][snapback]218669[/snapback][/right] VERY good plan!!! I decided to skip over things lastyear while getting the engine perped and now its been 18 months since I started and still no turbo. I started when John started the 4agze project. -------------------- Member of Team 5sfTe
