time for a swap...

[drifter sx]

yeah... cant put it off any more, my engine's about had it. its got 187K, it knocks.. loses water [but no leaks] is over-pressurized, barely starts, cant drive for mor than an hour at a time. needs like a 30 minute idle-warm up time. and doesnt like quick accelerations to make yellow lights. ive been trying to hold out as long as i could till i had the money for a swap [ANY swap] but its getting a little tight. i may have the money soon... hope i can last till then. ill prolly go with the SR, run it stock for a good long while, unless something else comesa up. but we'll see...

get a junkyard ka and do all the work before you put it in the car. cams, timing chain, pullies....

this way you'll have a cheap motor, money to spend on a few minor mods, and have it in the car without killing your bank account.

I'm assuming you can do the work yourself...
