[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!

Tranny didn't have a fluid pan, Throttle cables ripped up, Peices missing, Hoses split, EGR incomplete, PS fluid everywhere, Bad Oil smell, Random things grinded/cut off, CV axle boots not secured, Random peices of steel welded between something and nothing, Gaskets leaking, 2 jackoff mechanics involved, a driveway full of standing fluids, wrong fluids in the wrong places, disconected yet standing mechanical and electrical systems, A slew of plugs not pluged into their devices, cut wires, striped wires, Burnt wires, cut and improperly reconnected wires (that were connected to wrong wires) Missing componets, poorly placed aftermarket componets, sensors unlocated (and freehanging) signs of corrosion, Mechanical lines running in the wrong directions, and a partriach in a pair tree...

Oh and that was just the first 60 seconds of our meet n greet. There is indeed moar to this story. I just looked at the surface.

But He does have a verry nice HID setup.

We've alot of work ahead of us bro, But we'll get her up to par.

I'll call ya tommorow, And we'll get that tranny pan as promised. Remind me to compile a list of sh!t you're gunna be needing, and get ready to make a few deals with Alex and Steven, and Anyone else who may have what you need. Otherwise, I'll let you get in on some of my junkyard/"seedy parts shop" hookups.You remember what i told you about those places lol!

Sry 6g, This will not be a small project.

Malhar, i think you need to start a project thread. List every detail as you do it, so we have refference. Pictures are golden. this will help us in the future, as we'll have a history book to refer too. Plus give other members a place to help find your error, Opposed to individual issue thread hoping, and 40 PM explinations stating the same thing over and over.
