How much do you guys think it would cost to have a 95 Celica ST engine rebuilt?Im thinking about having it done. My Celica engine has 189,000 miles on it and it has most alot of its power. frown.gif

How bout save your money and drive that engine till it dont drive no more smile.gif 189k...i think you can make it 289... Just because you *think* its lost power doesnt mean it needs a rebuild. Do a tuneup on it. Change the plugs, wires, distributor cap/rotor, change all the fuilds and run some fuel system cleaner through it.

Shoot my ST has 167k and it uses Lots of oil and has preignition...im not even considering a rebuild smile.gif Ive driven it like this for about 20k miles now and nothing has changed...i just keep clean oil in it and bling it up!
