7AFE Rebuild, Need some experienced opinions. Options

[Jhensley]

Howdy all,

I am in the process of rebuilding a '95 Celica ST 7AFE motor and I would like to know the best place to get parts. The parts I need include:

Piston Set w/pins and rings (~20 thousandths oversize for 3.190" bore)
Rod bearings (STD)
Main bearings (10 thousandths oversize)
Oil pump (with the sensor port)
Gasket kit
TTY head bolts
Thrust inserts
And last and probably least: Core plugs.

I'm having the block and crank cleaned up right now and want to order parts as soon as I get my final measurements. I'm looking for "plain-jane" parts (no ultra high strength stoker kits) ... I'll probably go back to work on my 5th gen when I get out of college so I just need something to get me through a year or two.

if your just looking to do a standard rebuild, your local parts sho, or lots of online shops should be able to set you up with everything you need.

I've had no succes with parts locally. I am considering buying the parts from "22re.com" or "perfectengine.com" ... I hate buying stuff like this online because it seems like your stuck with it if it's not right. Just wondering if anyone else might have gone down this road recently.
