Hey guys,

I'm new here and wanted to get something straight. Are the 7A-FE motors from 90's Corolla the same as the 7A-FE in the Celica's? I have a 97' ST Celica that threw a rod bearing and I'm looking for a replacement engine. Would it be safer to buy a OBDII 7A-FE from another Celica or would a 94-95 Corolla motor do?

If a Corolla motor will do, what are some of the things I would need to use from the Celica 7A-FE to work with the 7A-FE in the Corolla motor?

Any info would be appreciate. Thanks!

Also the current engine is blowing out alot of oil. Going through about 1 qt every 500 miles. I don't know if it's the piston rings that are going bad or the valves. In either case I'd much rather do a quick swap instead of spending weeks or months building the current engine and finding oversized bearings and boring and honing and all that fun stuff.

My 7A used to do the same exact thing. Then one day, it just kind of... stopped. I still can't explain it, but my oil level stays where it should and doesn't drastically go down extremely fast anymore. I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, but she runs just fine.
