you could rebuild that engine for less Can you leak me to your thread Sam - I rebuilt 3 5SFEs at the same time last year for the race car.. I can probably help you out with pointers and cost estimations, The only way to really answer this question is if first you tell the forum why you are rebuilding the engine? Well the car has almost 200,000 miles and it just leaks ive changed the oil pump and valve cover seal and still leaks so im just gonna rebuild and do the head gasket and rear main seal and since im doing that i might as well do all the gaskets and seals |

You might be better off finding a decent used engine since you plan on selling it later. I was all set to rebuild the trany on my van till I found one on CL for less than the cost of the parts and it only had 50k on it. Im gonna look into finding another motor but hopefully its not the same price as a 3sge, I live in vegas so its rare finding parts for celicas its all about hondas in vegas ![]() |

i wrote a guide on rebuilding the 7A. it will be very similar to the 5S. i did write a guide on removing the engine. as for gaskets kits, get the OEM rebuild kit. its pricey but its OEM, you wont ever have to worry about leaks. Do you think its gonna cost the same price of swapping a 3sge cause the prices are rounding about the same price ? Im gonna check at your guide aswell |

So ive looked around and havent really found a proper forum that covers rebuilding the 5sfe, everyone just wants a rebuild with turbo or swapping out for faster parts. I just want a simple rebuild, keep everything stock so i can sell it later for a 3sge cause its my daily car at the moment. Ive been looking at the gasket kits and reseal kits on ebay and wanted to know if those were any good or should I just stick with oem but is it worth it spending alot of money staying oem when when ebay gaskets are almost just as good. I just need a list of what I am looking at to buy and how much im looking to spend. Just want a stock rebuild nothing crazy Help and much appreciated ![]() |

What I dont understand is why anyone hasnt tried any rotors or hubs from a mr2? I know the hub's off the mr2 are the most similar when it comes to the celica being that the axles are just about the same using the same motor 5sfe or the 3sge |

Its impossible to find a good lip for this car has anyone test fited any lips from a different car, I wonder if civic or integra lips fit ? or any other car? I need to know You're better off just getting a oem or oem replica. No universal lip fits or looks nice that I've seen before. Besides a make your own Home Depot lip. Lol. c-one front lips can be bought off of eBay but they're a bit too big in my taste. Yea those lips on ebay are a bit expensive and the ones on andys auto or too exotic for me, I feel like the home depot lip is half ass like I know there has to be something better, i was giving the idea to buy two cheap lips and weld together incase short can make it long enough to fit sounds dum but so far thats what I got in mind |

This still kinda confuses me I drive a 94 but what I was thinking just buy a universal slider that attatches to the 7th gen seats and 6th gen bracket instead of all that work idk if that would work just an idea |
