[Malhar95]

car info:
1995 toyota celica gt convertible

okay so when i got my car, i didnt really know what all is wrong with it. When i wend to the mechanic, he said i have low compression on one of the cylinders. He suggested a new engine. THen i went to another mechanic. he took some tubes out and told me one on my valve is bent and suggested a new cylinderhead.I got it to work, and installed ebay headers and an intake. about two weeks ago, i blew my header gasket.
Now i ordered a new cylinderhead from ebay :

my brother now tells me to rebuild the complete engine. He says i now need the following:
Bearings
pistons
motor mounts
crankshaft
oil pump
waterpump
timing belt
gasket set
lubricants and sealants


i found a rebuild kit on ebay for 300 dollars shipped but it doesnot have the crankshaft, pumps and timing belt.

i was just wanted to know if this is all i need and/or something else. and how much would the labor be for some stuff i cannot do it myself.

please help me i would really appriciate it.

if some of u live near houston texas (tx) can you meet me and tell me all i need!

I think that has well been disproven. There are many people on here who turbo an unopened 5s and make reliable power - presure2 can attest to that.


To add to the list above, $150 for the cheapest clutch kit, plus $30-$40 to resurface the flywheel.


I just spent $100 on coolant, oil filter, gear oil, and a couple other miscellaneous fluids. It adds up REAL fast.
