NO, BITE THE BULLET AND BUY A NEW BIKE. The sheek was a great bike in it's time, but for what you will pay for a fork up grade you could get a new more up to date ride. harsh answer, but somone had to say it!!!
its not the crown that is the problem its the headset...on a side note its worth getting a new bike. if the bike is old enough to have a threaded headset then it probably has a lot of other older parts and if you want to upgrade its always going to be a pain. if you wanted to put a new fork on you could try and find an old threaded one, or if you want a threadless one you will need a new headset and a new stem...definately not worth it in my opinion.
