Supra Rebuild?

kcahrens · 01-11-2011, 01:57 AM

Yeah. I would like to, but money is my limiting factor here. How much would a complete rebuild be? I need a car to drive today. I was planning on doing the head gasket now and then saving up for the rebuild and having it done in a year.

Its kind of pointless to do a hg when you will be taking it back apart a year later. If I were you I'd find a second car that way you can take your time on the supra. A rebuild can depend on a few things like parts and machine shop costs. But if you are going to have to pay someone to do it all and money is a factor then you might want a different car.

Money does not affect what I'm going to do, just the time table in which I am going to do it. I like this car too much to find a different one.

i was gonna say something witty about time and taking the buss to work.
but id rather not.

a HG job is do able by a competent person with some mechanical knowledge and the ability to read, comprehend and fallow directions.
that said, it will take you 3 days =)
and 907 is right, since you have the engine torn apart you want to do all your rebuilding right then and there. trust me you do not want to have to take your engine apart twice.
my advice is to figure out what needs replaced and do it all at the same time. if you do the work yourself you will have learned allot and saved allot.
allocate your moneys accordingly and figure out what is a necessity to getting your engine running correctly.. IE whats knocking and how do i fix it. and FFS be careful and fallow the directions to the letter. or find someone with a supra in your area.. befriend him and buy him some beer to work on your car. or let him feel your wifes boobs.. w/e works.
