I need your input Mitsustyle!

The JDM 4G63 motors that most people get from JDMLand are from Galant VR4s. Pretty much the same old 6-bolt stuff we have here, except with a flywheel that explodes if you make any power(so swap that). The Galant RS motor setup is pretty nice, if you can get one, with its 16G, 550cc injectors and rumors of better pistons.


Are you sure the leak at #1 isn't coming from above, from the valve cover oil drain hole right above there?

I'm positive it isn't coming from the valve cover drain hole. when i give it a little rev just to see how/where the oil is coming from in #1, i can see that there are bubbles from it and i am guessing it is because of my exhaust manifold gasket but where does that oil from #1 come from? another thing also is that if when i start my car, there is a quick blue smoke that appears out of the exhaust, which i assumed would be the oil that got into the exhuast manifold getting burnt....? the car still drives like a beaut though.

Blue smoke for a short time when you start is usually from a somewhat blown turbo seal or bad valve seals.

yeah..i'm really hoping it is a block turbo seal, because if it is, i'll be getting something more decent later. if has bad valve seals...than im going towards more of OPTION 2, buying a good long block from someone locally and building that slowly.
