Engine so my engine is toast

so my engine is toast

aparently denverrolla said i should just buy a new cylinder head....so i think im going to buy a stage 1 mwr cylinder head....cant afford stage 2.



any other thoughts?

maybe get another car?

try saving your beer money and rebuild your whole engine

Just get a built crate motor 1ZZFE.

my transmission is new as of last novemeber (well fully rebuilt)

i could 2zz swap it...only problem is id have to freight ship it to my town house with no garage and simple hand tools to put it in with =] (btw its moviestar)

how much do engine rebuilds run? we've already discussed the new car situation. i refuse.

Maybe swapping the head will be good in his case

he said it would fix my major problems....

its good you guys are neighbors

haha we were together all day today. toyota meet + after cruise =]

im kinda thinking i might be able to get a decently good shape 1zz for a grand or so....because that head is going to cost 800 but i get the core refunded....so i will probably end up spending maybe 500 (with shipping) but id need to get it freight shipped somewhere..

open a fedex account... I bet the shipping will be around $300.

edit: I wonder if its possible to ship your head with greyhound?

going to call them up tomorrow, we also had the idea to have it shipped to one of our dealerships (either the toyota one im at, or jeep that denverollas at)

I shipped a STi short block for $60 via DHL.. Thing weighed like 105lbs.

my options now are....take apart my car and ship them my head....then they ship it back redone......but i dont have acar for 2 weeks.

second option would be to swap a 1zz with vvti becuse everything they have is for a 1zz with vvti.

third option is just to buy a new car which isnt really an option. considering i dont have enough money.

option #1 is still doable. Plus you can get wheels if you need some.

improvise man, drive a bicycle

are you saying, plus i can get some wheels if i need some?


i dont wanna ride my bike =[ i ride it enough as it is.


EDIT: oh btw he said shipping was only $30.

^^ exactly....u need the exercise

yes

thats coming soon i promise. look for new wheels at the end of july...

i should just buy another car already......its starting to sound like i have a rod knocking and i even changed the oil to a thicker 10w-30, and added oil treatment. =\ fuck me.

she has given you some good rides but it might be time to put her down. look at the bright side you have an in with the toyota dealership maybe you can get a good deal.

How bad does it sound? post a sound clip if possible. you'll get better benefits working at the local gas station

it sounds pretty gnarly. will record something on my way back to work

here its not great quality...you can kinda hear it though.

Are you using 87 octane?

lol yes....why do you ask

It doesn't sound that bad. Try using some 89 octane or higher next time.
