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. |

ngk makes good plugs for cheaper via ebay rather going to dealer and dropping 80 on plugs...most aftermarket parts are remanufactured to oem specs too. if anyone has concerns about a brand, they can ask everyone here and get the best input before they buy.
