hi guys,
i got a 89 celica with a 3sfe its done over 210,000km and is drinking oil.
i dont know much about the mechanics, but im assuming changing the oil seals should fix the problem, or should i do a complete rebulild (due to its age)?????
OR should i just buy a reco engine? and if so does any1 know what this would cost and where (in sydney)
OR is any1 selling a 3sfe thats doen less than 150,000?
i know it would be beter to go for a 3sge but i dont want to spend much money
appricaite the help, cheers

Ahh no oil seals. Does it blow smoke or is it dripping oil? it all depends where its using oil if you need to rebuild the engine.

I have to FILL mine with oil every month. and when i drive hard it make everything foggy lol. I wouldn't go to all the trouble because you think it is getting old or because of the K's. save your money wait for it to die or get bad and look at your options then.
