This thread is in need of an update. The white celica was sold to a friend/coworker of mine, so I still get to see it several times a week though sitting in the passenger seat never feels quite right tongue.gif The red celica was running strong with the fresh head for about 3k miles before it decided to start dumping oil from somewhere. I checked under the hood and was amazed to see it was coming out of the intake filter! There is a serious amount of blow-by gas getting into the intake, like I lost a quart in a day kind of serious! I did a compression test and found numbers of 180 185 180 and 90... I'm assuming it has a cracked piston ring allowing combustion pressure to get into the crankcase but I still need to do a leakdown test to confirm this. Either way the motor needs to come apart/be replaced and I've really been toying with the idea of a 3rd gen 3sgte or maybe a 3rd gen 3sge. I may have found a great deal on a grey top beams 3sge that I could get for even cheaper than another 5s so I might go for that biggrin.gif

In the meantime I got a mk1 mr2 as a daily. Can't complain with an incredibly fun car to drive that only costs $25 to fill the tank laugh.gif
