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.

Timming covers are a bish. Make ssure you get all the leftover metal from the origional HG off of the block. I used a soft metal brush bit on my dremmel to do this. If you do make sure all the water jackets are covered. Oh and the head bolts DO fit down the oil return holes ;D so watch out for them. When you start the swap revive this post and those of us that can will try and answer any other questions. Good luck.
