[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!

well it all depends really, most ebay kits are a compilation of aftermarket parts, some are ok but some aren't. really it can go either way, I've read alot of bad reviews about people rebuilding there engines using ebay kits but i have read a few good reviews too. but if you are going to buy a rebuild kit go for the most expensive one on ebay not the cheapest those are usually the worse. in all fairness you seem like you know how to take an engine apart, if you can put it together the same way ounce you prep all the parts it should be fine (assuming you got a fairly good ebay kit)
