Alrighty, so I've searched and found nothing. I am doing a basic head swap, replacing the 5sfe on my celica with a rebuilt 5sfe because the valve seals are toast. I have the head, and will check the seals and valve lash. I have the BGB for the car.
All I basically need to know from the experts (I've only ever done a swap on a Honda), is what parts I need (do I need new tensioners, etc), I'd imagine I'll do the water pump and timing belt, so what all do I need, and where's a good place online to get it. So far Head Gasket - Want a decent one intake & Exhaust manifold gaskets. Timing belt - any better than the others ? water pump t-stat (low temp because I don't drive it in the winter) So, some help as to what else and what specific parts, as well as where you buy your toyota stuff online would help! THANKS! Dr. |

well, for starters, you can use the headgasket off of a 98+ camry, it is of metal composite and will be much more durable, which will really come in handy if you decide to run a forced induction setup, or if you plan to drive the car for another 200 thousand miles. Also trd makes a low temp thermostat, I dunno, check ebay. As for the other parts, I wouldn't worry too much about a particular timing belt or manifold gaskets, but I could be wrong
