You could swap a used engine into it but it not worth it in my opinion.

70,925

any of that leaking out...if it smokes does it smoke???? try and do a dry compression tes...the a wet one...might just need some valve guides/seals...could even be just a gasket..suching the oil/intake/head gasket...try and find out from several differet people

It don't leak aleast underneath or appear to be leaking on the top of the engine.It runs really strong, don't smoke. I live in Colo and have taken it up mountain passes to 12,000 feet don't miss runs like a swiss watch, just burns oil as I said before

I don't know what oil you use in the engine but you can try changing to a heavier oil. At this point you have nothing to lose.
