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

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  plus toyota dealarships are ripp off for oem parts unless your work for them
