[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!

A total engine rebuild will be more the 500, I would now this since I just rebuilt mine.
(all these part I got a discount)
Cost/Parts:
Crank machined-$100
Head Machined-250
Piston rings-$40
Valve Springs-$32
Gasket Set-$50
Water Pump-$60
Oil Pump-$80
Thermostat-$20
Total-$632
Thats just for the hard parts I got, that doesnt include fluids, new bolts, plugs, dissy, exe. How much did I plan on spending in the begining $500 how much did I end up paying a little under $1500 including sum aftermarket parts, about $1000 in OEM rebuild.
Im not saying you cant rebuild it for $500 but if you set you limit a little higher like $700-$800 you might find you not having to spend your whole budget.

Edit: This is what that $1500 got me.
