I'm about to change the timing belt, water pump, pully on the celica.
It has got me thinking, is it worth it to put genuine toyota parts in there? I mean, how much longer is the old 7afe gonna last before the valve seals leak and i will be pulling off the head anyways. I've given up on modify the celica, and ditching plans to turbo the 7afe. So this engine will not be under the heat and stress modified engines face. |

Engine wise I would use Toyota parts for about everything.
Only thing I use Generic is the Distributorcap since Toyota asks €110 for it and the generic is €23. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!
