Hello on my 94 celica 2.2 liter GT model I had to order a new thermostat from Napa.
-They sent me the right one according to there books but it is too big in diameter??? *THe parts guy told me the 1.8 liter has a slightly smaller thermostat so I ordered that one.... -I am wondering if it is common for the 2.2 liter and 1.8 liter to have the thermostats switched or in the wrong motor???? -Also I ordered a throwout bearing from Napa and it is too small in diameter to fit on the shaft so apparently there is a second option with a slightly larger inside diameter also listed for the celica.... *Does this sound correct? He said there was no difference in his books for a different throwout bearing on the 2.2 liter vs. the 1.8 liter... Anyone know what is going on with my part issuses?????? Thanks..... |

next time just get the parts from Toyota. Perfect OEM fitment and no Autozone crap.

OEM may be he11a expensive, but its guarantee fitment and performance, not some cheap aftermarket parts.
