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. |

Between now and then try and make friends with you local dealership. I went there so many times during my HG swap they now give me the same discount they get. -------------------- Member of Team 5sfTe
