				so my Celica decided it wanted to blow a connecting rod. Anyone know how much the rebuild is going to cost? And when I have it rebuilt, is there anything I can have done internally to get more power from the motor? Let me know. Thanks!

				Like they said, it's prolly cheaper just to buy a used engine. I got my most recent for $500 with 27k on it. Be careful tho and do a compression test on the engine just in case, that way if anything is wrong with it you can fix it before something goes boom again.  
			
			
					
		I just recently had my original motor throw a rod, put another 7a that was poorly maintained and had it blow just a couple months later. Now I'm on my 3rd motor. Also for the price it costs to build these motors up and get any kind of signifigant power gains, you could have dropped a 3sgte in and had more bang for your buck.  |
