Hi 6gc members. So my car is at 190K miles and I bought it around 170K miles. I will need to drive it about 1000 miles round trip at least once a month (Sacramento to San Diego). I am unsure when the owner have changed the timing belt, so I plan on doing that now. I plan using a AISIN kit from Rock Auto and was wondering what should I change while I'm at it? Would this be a good kit? I plan on keeping this car as long as I can. I know there are already some forums out there, but I would like some more assistance. I have read on some forums say that I should do the oil pump and oil pump seal. Then some other forums saying I should only do the seal. What do you guys think? Are there any other seals that I should change to prevent oil leaks? The car seems to leak a little oil but I am unsure where its coming from. The leak is so small that there isnt even any oil spots on my driveway, but there is just like a tiny drop ready fall on the oil pain. Any help is appreciated, Thank you.
AISIN kit includes the following components: AISIN Water Pump Koyo Idler Bearing Koyo Tensioner Bearing Mitsuboshi Timing Belt Water Pump Gaskets & O-Rings |

These cars weren't babied though. Maybe the first owner did, but after that they were just an economy car for a majority of owners. Since he's already going to be doing all of this work, and looks to be keeping the car for some time, might as well get the peace of mind by going ahead and redoing the oil pump. We had a member here recently trash an engine from a failed oil pump, with a good deal fewer miles on a more upscale Celica than what we get. What's an extra $50 and an hour at this point?

I had my oil pump replaced by a very reputable shop. The book calls for 5 hours labor, and the oil pump is $135 from Toyota. Good luck finding a new one for $50, and getting it done in an hour. -------------------- |

Whoever takes 5 hours on replacing an oil pump housing with power tools and a lift on a 5S-FE is really stupid as a mechanic. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
