God i feel like a newb, sr ka debate, again!!!

[Evil S14]

heres the deal, i cant actually search because my problem is unique

97 ka (the freak engine as KidYnomite calls it)
its got a front crank seal leak and an oil pan leak

i got a bad 4th gear synchro and the tranny has just been all together mean to me

i dont know if it would be worth keeping it and turboing it or just swapping in the blacktop

ill eventually have to rebuild the tranny again, and i can fix the leaks, but is it worth it to have to worry about this stoopid ass transmission or just plop a new one in???

ahh decisions decisions:(

and dont be dumb and put a s13/180sx SR in yoru S14

In the words of R240NA... "I'm gonna take an S13...... an BURN IT!"

just remember that whatever SR you buy might have just the same problems in terms of leaks and tranny shiz. my SR tranny is a bit better than my KA was, and it only has one small leak (valve cover?)

anyway, i say keep it, fix it, and run it. i would have kept my KA if the SOHC wasn't such an outright turd of a motor. the DOHC is far superior.

exactly I've got the leaking front and rear main seals to prove it!
