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!

well im not gonna lie, ebay kit wasnt all quality...it did have some parts (gaskets) missing...but nothing major.
QUOTE Your prob going to have to rebuild in the next year maybe a bit longer. But it will get the job done temporarily if thats the problem im not worried cause eventually im gonna get the 3sgte swap done once i get enough money...My purpose was temporary... as of now, the engine is in the car but getting everything hooked up like the sensors, mounts wiring etc. And now i see why u guys were telling me its not possible to do a rebuild for under 500 dollars LOL! stuff comes up and now i understand, but in my defense, im a noob and this isnt just my 1st car, its the 1st time im actually working on a car! ![]() once again thanks guys and ill keep u updated -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer
