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 : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RK%3AMEWNX%3AIT 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!

No way in hell your going to rebuild for 500. Machine work alone will prob cost that much. A good OEM rebuild kit is prob close to 5-1200$ just depends... And you want to upgrade pistons that alone is 3-700$ the you have to take it to the machine shop bore it over, get it hot tanked, ext... Just plain and simple no. Def go to google and use the search feature on this site. A cheap rebuild just means your going need another one soon. And you said turbo and rebuild for 500... Dude a turbo alone cost around 500 and that isn't including everything else. Before you attempt any of this I suggest you stay at the computer reading ALOT before you under go this task. Fluids alone are over 100$.
