this is the sadest day known to man, timing belt broke Options

[mywhite94celicag...]

Im sad to announce that the timing belt on my celica is now broken. Not too bad for going 160,000 miles on the orginal timing belt. This is either going to lead to either

1. new timing belt, head work on the 5sfe head, new clutch and new seals. or

2. 2.2 stroker with the 3sgte head. still trying to find parts for it. i bought a 3sgte head on ebay for $150. so if anyone has some stuff i need. let me know.


either way im going to be doing alot of stuff my my celica soon.

i could have sworn we had interferance engines. well thats good that we dont. but i was sitting at a stop sign when the belt broke, so it wouldnt have done any damage. but yes i got a OEM from toyota belt, tensioner and something else with it too, not sure what it is off the top of my head. but i think im going to be going with the 2.2 stroker anyways. but if money comes a problem, ill just slap on the belt and new clutch and go.

WOWSER-RIFFICK, this boy has one of them SPECIAL celica engines, the kind where the revolutions of the engines completely stop when the car is at a complete stop. Absolutly amazing technology these gosh-darn days.
