on an average of 2,500 to 5,500 dollars, the cheapest route would be to purchase a good used motor and have that installed. if you have plenty of money have it rebuilt
Brake pads on a 1997 Toyota Celica are changed by removing the wheels, unbolting the calipers, and removing the old pads from the calipers. The caliper piston must be pushed in before the new pads can be installed.
Which engine?? 5SFE or the Turboed 3S-GTE?
You have to replace the piston rings and/ or the piston. Once you take the cylinder off, you should make sure nothing falls into the bottom end of the engine. If you are not familiar with this, then you should consult a mechanic.
replancing a timing chain, specially in a time where engines come out more complicated every year, is someting I don't recomend doing by yourself unless you got a knowledgeable mechanic by yourside. I have seen this type of work done and the trick comes when the piston fire order must be set. A mechanic uses a special light for this purposes or a specially designed trick that works for him kept as the must precious secret. Maybe the Toyota corporation has taugh their mechanic the way this is done with just settting the belt in place with wichever piston goes on top first.
Almost certainly. The timing belt being damaged or broken can cause a number of different problems. I know in my 86 celica sx the result of a faulty/ old timing belt was a piston snapping off at the control rod, it was warped and bent because of wrong timing. i suggest if u have a broken/old/damaged timing belt you do not drive it till u get it replaced. Also see your mechanic for more advice
To replace the piston rings on a 1987 Toyota MR2, start by removing the engine from the vehicle for easier access. Disassemble the engine by taking off the cylinder head and oil pan, then carefully remove the pistons from the connecting rods. Using a ring compressor, install the new piston rings onto each piston, ensuring they are oriented correctly. Finally, reassemble the engine, reinstall it in the vehicle, and ensure all components are properly secured.
You have a brake line to the calipers that is collapsing. A mechanic will tell you which side it is by the direction it is pulling to. Caliper Piston binding on that side
most auto mechanic preferred .002 clearance from piston skirt to sleeve
A home mechanic could do this for less than $1000 but he would be skipping many performance and reliability repairs as he has the engine apart.
Toyota changed piston size in engine. It is shorter and creates wear on piston rings.
Remove engine, disassemble, replace piston, re-assemble engine and install. Good times!
There is not a lot of information to go by in your question. There are many reasons why an engine might lock up - - Ran with no oil - Ran over heating - Timing chain broke / piston damage - Piston damage in general And more. Have the truck towed to a qualified mechanic and have him tell you what's wrong.
