so as manny and mr. thoma know i was getting a paint quote on sunday. on my way home my celica shut off and will not start again. timing belt is good. cams look fine. i have no compression in one cylinder. smells burnt im gonna guess bad pisons/rings until i pull it all apart. i am planning on pulling my engine out. i have another lomg block on a stand that i want to rebuild. i am curious as to what engine gasket overhaul kits are a go and which ones are... not so much. i work at a toyota dealership and i understand you get what you pay for, but dont really wanna take a mortgage out to rebuild an engine. couldn't find anything from beck arnley... just looking for thoughts on kits that are good. words of wisdom are welcomed too. please and thank you.

He doesn't need the vin. I worked for over a year at a toyota parts department. Just tell him to filter by car and by chasis.
Sometimes you need a vin because 5 different versions of the same part will pop up, but thats not the case with the alltrac. Tell him to learn how to use microcat and stop being lazy. This post has been edited by lagos: Jul 16, 2013 - 10:13 PM -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
