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 : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RK%3AMEWNX%3AIT 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!

yup it was the "O-ring problem" and thats solved....
but now my engine oil i believe is leaking...my mechanic i gone and will be back in about a week...any suggestions what it could be? its leaking from behind the timing belt place... what i think is that its rubber thing which is on the head...it looks like a filler to keep the oil in....i think its suppose to be metal and not rubber b/c my old head has steel..but my mechanic thinks im wrong and it might be the oil pump... ill get some pics soon... PS: if somebody is in the houston area, can u please please come over and take a look...maybe its something stupid..i would really appreciate it....i live on the westgreen and fry rd intersection somewhat near i-10 and mason..(next to the fire station) thank you -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer
