So...so far my 7afe is always burning oil and such... has 227xxx miles... Now it seems like 7afe is a flawed engine that will leak oil... so which engine is best... now I know ya`ll always say 3gste...besides that one... is a 7gen celi gts engine betteR? or should I look for a 6gen gt swap? whats the cheaper/easier swap? And longevity engine? I want more power but my wallet is just wanting a cheap swap... I dunno... kindasad.gif Ideas?

If my 7afe gets to 227k miles and the biggest issue it has is burning/leaking oil, I will be a happy camper.

I'd replace it with another 7afe or rebuild yours if all you are looking for is reliable transportation. Only swap if you want more power and the extra power is worth the extra cost/effort to you.
