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:(

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!
