Hey,
So my Celica GT's axle broke and took some of the engine with it. I got a replacement 5S-FE and am having a shop install it. My question's are: 1) Is there a VIN on the engine to make sure the mileage on it is correct. 2) What should I check for when I go pick up the car? |

The vin is on the block right about the oil pan next to the transmission
 If a shop is installing the motor have them show the compression test readings and if they are a professional shop they should have a NOX/Emissions tester, have them run the car on that. Other things you can check for:(after a couple days of driving) any leaks(oil, rad.,power steering), spark plugs(hot, oily, corrosion, exe.). Make sure you dont run it hard(over 3000rpm) until you have done the 500 mile break in period. |
