Hey there, i'm planning on purchasing a 97 celica st with 127k miles on it this weekend and it has a blown engine.
anyone have any links to good rebuild kits or preformance parts for the build? i'm not too knowlegeable about this, i'm more of body man but my dads a mechanic and i have some friends who are really good with automotive work and they own they're own garage. but any help or advice would be apreciated. thanks much in advance guys!

I had mine rebuilt not too long ago by Smaay, he put a thread of it with detailed pictures it's in the engine section called "rebuilding the 7a" also, you should get all your parts from toyota OEM only. You should also replace the water pump and timing while you have it out. I'm pretty sure the kit he bought from toyota was a complete gasket kit of everything you need. Once we got the engine apart we found more problems, bad piston, bad bearings, etc, so keep that in mind that you might have some more surprises once you get it out.
