take it for another opinion...

there is no after market options for your car. you can go to a GTS motor but it won't be worth it, instead the best option would be a turbo kit and a built gt motor

well was your motor knocking or ticking badly before you brought it too the shop?

[khmerxnuttyxb]

nope their was no noise or shaking... it was just leaking oil... then we brought it to the shop and they said the gasket is blown

Unless you lost all of the oil you should be ok. what gasket is blown?

hey whats up bro, to be sure that your motor is blown pull your oil pan and examine the oil for metal flakes and then the crank and rods for damage. If it is blown call me if your interested in a (05' 1zzfe) freshly turned crack and block, i just got them back from the machine shop. I'll give you a great deal. I know where your at i got an 05' and i'm about to do my 3rd drop-in a day or two. /call 858-231-9420 and if i don't answer just leave me a voicemail with your name and number.
