does anyone know if piston rings on a 1.8 celica(1996) can be done with the bottom end in place in engine bay?

thanx all

tranny??? transmission, is that our gearbox? Most of our cars are manuel 5 speed gearboxes which i think you guys call stick shift ???? we have drive shafts from wheels to gearbox. fly wheel is different to autos , which i believe you guys have, but the housing seems to be the same(?). was hoping i could change flywheels and mounts, then drop the lump onto it.???

sorry guys but im still a little confused. both cars are identical apart from the engine size and the fact the 2000 is an automatic. i see that i gotta change the fly wheel and drive shafts. im confident ican re-sit the mounts and anything along them lines. ican make my own stainless exhaust system, but am terrible with electrics,(whats a fuse?!!). is tranny driveshafts? in england a tranny is either a ford transit or a transvestite. obviously i cant get a van in the engine bay and we still have laws against putting people under our bonnets!

hi guys, thanks for all your input. the reason im asking about the 2 litre is that i can pick up the complete engine and bits for £250 with 32,000 miles on it. my other alternative is to repair my existing engine. bear in mind the car is only worth a few grand. cornwall is cold and windy, recovering from the new year !!!!!!!!!!

hi all. im not too clued up with celicas.im in cornwall, england, and all the model numbers dont mean a lot to me at the moment, all i know is the 2 litre and 1800 look very similar from the top! its a manuel car(5 speed). it hasnt even got a rear spoiler!!!!!!!!

hi. its a basic 2000 (96) and a basic 1800 car(96)

i have a 1.8 celica (96) with a smokey engine which i believe is the piston rings. but i have managed to find a low mileage engine for a good price but it is a 2.0. does anyone know if this swop will fit without major work?? thanx.
