Well aparently the engine was swaped with one that had the head gasket done. The guy says the engine runs rough and needs some tuning, but it might be just a bad engine considering it has over 200 000 km on it. Dunno I will see it tomorrow, but at 200 000km I doubt I will put a turbo on. Also a power steering hose leaks but that is not a problem for me.
I found something very encouraging on the other hand. A JDM importer in Toronto is selling 7M-GE engines for $500 with around 30k miles. I could get one of those, have it on a stand and propery prep it for a turbo and drop it in when the current one goes(screw the neighbours).
