Thank God that I replaced mine. It was in perfect looking condition and the seals were in good shape. I am sleeping very peacefully now. Especially since the RMS was replaced, along with the water pump, clutch, and the air oil separator at the same time. yes the total cost was $3k for all of that, but it was totally worth it.

If the engine every does give out, I am going to ship the car straight to Arizona and have the V-8 conversion completed on it for $7k :dance:

When I looked into this $7k only covered the conversion kit and not the donor engine.
To get GT3 type power from the V8 you're probably in the $20k region and that's before you tweak the suspension.
