[Malhar95]

car info:
1995 toyota celica gt convertible

okay so when i got my car, i didnt really know what all is wrong with it. When i wend to the mechanic, he said i have low compression on one of the cylinders. He suggested a new engine. THen i went to another mechanic. he took some tubes out and told me one on my valve is bent and suggested a new cylinderhead.I got it to work, and installed ebay headers and an intake. about two weeks ago, i blew my header gasket.
Now i ordered a new cylinderhead from ebay :

my brother now tells me to rebuild the complete engine. He says i now need the following:
Bearings
pistons
motor mounts
crankshaft
oil pump
waterpump
timing belt
gasket set
lubricants and sealants


i found a rebuild kit on ebay for 300 dollars shipped but it doesnot have the crankshaft, pumps and timing belt.

i was just wanted to know if this is all i need and/or something else. and how much would the labor be for some stuff i cannot do it myself.

please help me i would really appriciate it.

if some of u live near houston texas (tx) can you meet me and tell me all i need!

well im not gonna put fuel on the fire. enough people have bashed your 500 rebuild idea. and they are all correct! buying a used longblock is your cheapest option, but then again its still used. if you already have everything out. just rebuild it, but expect to pay about 1000 not 500. and you dont need lower compression pistons. In fact now that i have more experience with turbo systems, i would raise the compression in my 7th gen celica from 8.8:1 to 10:1. lesst boost will make more power. its all in the tuning. and using billit pistons instead of cast will handle the higher pressures.
