5 months ago I bought this 82 tercel from an old lady,it was in almost perfect condition with about 65000km on the counter.I rod it for about 5 months and then out of nowere the oil light on the dash starts flashing now and then,I checked the oil level and it was just fine,I ignored it for 2 days then the engine broke down,I restarted the engine but shut-ed it down just after witnessing a cloud of smoke coming from under the hood.I got the car towed to my grand ma's.I drained the oil that was left in the oil pan(very little) and opened the valve cover and saw that the cam is alright,the engine even turns fine with a ratchet on the crank pulley,so i think thats its surely a piston rings that burned and that let all the oil get burned in the combustion chambers,(i think!!)surely somethings wrong with the oil pump too:( ANYWAYS after shopping for the cheapest parts I came to the conclusion that it was MUCH cheaper to purchase another 1.5L engine at a used parts entrepot,I found a 1.5L from an later tercel model for 150 that runs good. which brings me to my question: Would any tercel 1.5L fit on my 1982 and if not could someone tell me up to what year could I swap a 1.5 to my actual manual 4 speed?
thank you for reading this post
