In the near future, I plan on redoing the valves etc on the head and came across some ebay sites that sells remanufactured heads. all work done with cams etc for under $300. Engine is 7A-FE and my car is 1996 Celica ST (AT-200) with manual transmission.
What is your experience with these heads and what advise you can give me that can help me decide. Thank You MSK This post has been edited by msk59: Jun 13, 2014 - 8:09 AM |
