My 94 Celica GT (5sfe) has a blown head gasket. So I figured I might as well do a mild build. I'm not looking for big power. Just a little more. I don't have a goal in mind or any future plans of big power. I was just fine with it stock but with the blown head gasket a mild build wouldn't be such a bad idea. Maybe just throw on a set of cams and be done with it.
I've been using the search and I'll find bits and pieces of information here and there. Will search and search some more. I'm hoping to attract the attention of someone who has done a build on their 5s head. What they've done and what they might suggest. So far it seems like regrind cams are the way to go but will require the valves to be shimmed? 2jzgte valves will work but will need some modification? Seems like stock valve springs should work just fine. If anyone has any input please let me know. I wanna get going on this soon so I can get the car back on the road. |

you can use the 98+ metal gasket on the earlier motors.
cams is the single best mod you can do on a 5s. i would either go with the colt cams, or the webcams, but the coltcams are a bunch cheaper than the webcams. iirc the webcams are around 400+, the colt cams are like 250 or somthing like that. i've tuned both on the dyno, the mildest sets from both companys make very similar power, but the colt cams were easier to install, and were cheaper like i said earlier. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
