7A-FE ENGINE

I have a toyota Celica 1.8st which has done 157k. It is burning an excessive amount of oil (300 miles and the dipstick goes from full to half level)



It is not smoking visibly but I understand that could be due to the catalytic converter stopping the smoke.



I have considered replacing the engine and note that the Toyota Corolla and the Celica both use the 7A-FE engine. I have seen a second hand (61k) engine for =A399.00 which is vastly superior the the



400 quid I am being quoted for a second hand celica engine.

Would the Toyota Corolla 16V EFI engine (7A-FE) be ok to put into my Celica?



Grateful for any advice



Many thanks

Your engine is leaking oil fron the crank case because of either of two reasons. One, your cylinders are heavily pitty probably 150k+ miles or you need new seal rings on the pistons. Just get it overhalled and have them replace the rings. This should create a better sel and your problem should go away.

7a-fe denotes basic engine design.........you may have to change oil pan, intake, exh. manifold, etc., but the bare engine is the same.............kjun
