92-95 3sfe rebuild...searched for weeks!!...please help, 3sfe rebuild Options

[3SFESWAP]

Hello everyone! i was wondering if anyone knows anything about the 2.0 3sfe engines. i just bought a 1994 gt and to my surprise it doesnt have a stock engine. I first noticed this when the block said 2.0 16v and the intake manifold said 2200. weird....anyways its got the 2.0 jdm engine with the 2.2 intake and stuff. the guy i bought it off of drove it with no oil and now the engine is seized. (sad.gif) I have a couple of questions now, i am going to rebuild it, but where can i find gaskets and pistons from for that engine. whats compatible? apparently the intake manifold gasket at least. Also the engines got a smaller bore on the pistons compared to the 5sfe, like .04 but i heard its got alittle more hp. So, Does anyone know where i can get gaskets, pistons, water pump,clutch and a timing belt from? Would the older 89-91 3sfe parts work? this car has the same exact engine as mine and its 1995 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...bayphotohosting
and this is the engine http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/89-96-Toyot...bayphotohosting[/url] i am dying to figure out where i can find a rebuild kit for this engine. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS!! Dave

the 3sfe also came in later rav4s, I would guess that they put one of those in there. Search around for rav4 info, you probably find some.

true true, you think that rebuild would work? if you click on the links on my forum it show both the kind of engine it is, and a stock celica from the UK that has that motor in it. a man by the name of "fran" rebuilt a 92-96 3sfe. i was looking at his posts. he hasnt gotten back to me yet, i asked him where he found a rebuild kit.
