So a guy was gona put a junkyard 7afe in my car for me for 1260. Then i found a guy that said he advised against a junkyard motor. The new guy is gonna rebuild it " bottom to top" for 1100. Thing is, he said if hes gona rebuild it, he said i would need a new clutch and throwout bearing. Is that right? I just put a new clutch in a couple years ago. He said he woukdnt guarantee his work unless he puts a new clutch in. Is he bull****ting me, or do i really need a clutch since hes gona rebuild? You guys think i made the right.choice by rebuilding instaed of junkyard engine? Thanks

personally i think its BS that he is saying he wont cover the work unless he puts in a new clutch. thats a lame excuse. does the 1100 also cover removing your engine and installing the new one? If i were doing the job, i would charge about 1500 for the total labor, thats removing your engine, tearing it all the way down, rebuilding it back up, and installing it in your car. that is not covering parts. find out exactly what the 1100 covers.
you could also do this yourself, i posted a really good guide on how to build a 7A-FE. just pull the engine yourself, tear it down, and then follow the guide to rebuilding it. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
