Head gasket blown in all directions...engine swap or scrap
Calum122 replied to scarletstarlet's topic in Engines
The 4E heads you can remove the head with the inlet on for ease of access. I don't know about the 2E but I presume they would be similar. -
It's different for sure :D

As said bud, the rear wheel bearings are just tapered roller bearings. They won't need pressing in. The fronts however are indeed pressed into the hub.

Don't get me wrong, someone has spent decent money on that. But that paint job. If it was so Fast & Furious it would be a decent car, maybe not Skyline GTR money, but decent. -
Ah, that's good to know then, in just a few paragraphs it's lost 300 ponies. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-MR2-TURBO-800-BHP-MONSTER-UKS-MOST-POWERFUL-PX-spares-repair-project/202106248655?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D49129%26meid%3Da41e29999bd7425e91c4e2d2e0cb4c5d%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D263302634422&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 And that colour scheme though. That description is properly suspect as well. I know it's decent spec'd but that's a lot of money for a car for someone to

Calum122 replied to Chops's topic in Starlet Parts For Sale
Yeah don't throw the boot away please. I'm sure that boot is worth good money, be a shame to see you not get something for it! -
I don't like TOMS spoiler personally, mid spoiler definitely. That said, your car already has some tasteful body kit, so it could go really well.

Lovely that bud.

The window motors are prone to failure, more so on the darker cars. But usually it's one at a time. If they've both gone then it could be that ones been broken for ages. More likely it's something like a fuse or something that runs inline with the motors/

Head gasket blown in all directions...engine swap or scrap
Calum122 replied to scarletstarlet's topic in Engines
Meh, The Internet can just be a scaremonger to be fair. You don't know the extent of the problem until you at least strip the head. If you're going to scrap the car/engine, then taking the engine apart wouldn't hurt to just flesh out your options. Ultimately, the head is designed to warp. It's designed to warp as to not damage the block. My friend drove his Mitsubushi Evolution like this and he needed a new head, since I'm told they cannot be skimmed, but the block was fine. -

Calum122 replied to scarletstarlet's topic in Engines
Why don't you just fix the current engine? Whip the head off and assess the damage. I doubt the block will be warped, you'd probably just get away with a head skim which isn't that expensive and away you go. It is going to be more work to engine swap it, with no guarantees that the engine you buy doesn't have its own problems. -

They say they do with a few shimes. Give them a ring and they will say exactly how they fiy.

Are they not just the pathetic 1.8 Turbo engine found in most VAGs of that era?
