Remanufactured Head (ebay), Need you all experts advise Options

[msk59]

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

Langing. I did read the entire post, a few times in fact. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

The original purpose of my post was to gain more information about the rebuilt heads and to see if anyone has any good or bad experience with these heads. that is all.

Thanks for verifying my understanding, and thanks for reading “gone with the wind.”


Please understand that my intention was not to attempt to change your mind. In fact, I am jealous of the experience you are going to gain in your undertaking, and I wish you the best as you are setting out on that journey to DIY manhood.


It would still be so nice if someone who had actually incorporated one of those $300 heads in their Celica could speak to us, based on having had that experience, to things like the quality of those suppliers, etc. Your initial question piqued my interest and it still isn’t satisfied.
